As planned, here-in-after The CM-int’08 (POLIMI Course of Interiors 2008 by Gennaro Postiglione) presents a sequence of possible visions about the future of Vienna Flak Towers (bunkers from WWII): a selection of these shots will be shown in the exhibition “I templi incompiuti di Hitler” (download info), Spazio Guicciardini (18 FEB-13 MAR), Milano, promoted by the Provincia di Milano and the Austrian Culture Institute in Milan (curators: Edoardo Conte and Flavia Foradini).

The curators asked for our collaboration/participation at their exhibition with a work on Vienna Flak Towers and we decided to assign to CM-int’08 students – in continuity with previous exercises – the task to edit some “UN-useful” visions.

Following, a sequence arranged from the best to the worst according students self-evaluation.

CM Interni ’08 Postiglione

Elaborazione di uno o più progetti individuali di recupero “in-utile” di un esistente (ma non per questo tutto vero: potrebbe essere un paesaggio immaginario): le attività  ammesse sono quelle esclusivamente di fruizione estetico-estatica, di meraviglia, di curiosità , di desiderio, di paura, ecc.; mai di uso, mai di utilità  pratica, ecc. ma senza puntare ad essere monumentali o celebrativi. Piuttosto invece bisogna puntare ad essere partecipativi e coinvolgitivi.

Elaborati finali: SUGGESTIONI (attraverso fotomontaggi, video, ecc., o parole): delivering once a week.
