The seminar is inspired by the increasing number of interesting projects and architectural practices dealing with spatial, typological and technical innovation connected to the regeneration of existing buildings all over Europe toward residential and community spaces. The seminar is interested in crossing different experiences that work on: the regeneration of existing collective housing, the regeneration of peripheral areas and fragile context, the unconventional reuse of the nonresidential, underused or abandoned buildings. All these topics combine many issues: the typological innovation in relation to contemporary practices, the work on the envelope, the layout articulation, the image of the building, the participation of the community, the effects that these projects can produce on urban scale.

CIÖNDÒL

CIÖNDÒL
[by Irene Comini, July 2019]

Borno è un borgo alpino della provincia di Brescia che per posizione geografica risulta isolato rispetto al suo contesto territoriale. Se per molti borghi alpini questo causa un progressivo spopolamento, il forte radicamento dei bornesi nei confronti del paese natale porta la maggior parte di loro a preferire uno stile di vita mobile, impiegando fino a tre ore di viaggio per raggiungere quotidianamente il luogo di lavoro o di studio. Attraverso un intenso lavoro di interviste semi-strutturate e un confronto diretto con i “bornesi mobili” è risultato evidente come questo stile di vita limiti il loro coinvolgimento nella quotidianità e socialità del paese.
Partendo dallo stato famigliare, dalla frequenza e dal motivo dello spostamento, e attraverso la ricostruzione delle diverse giornate tipo, sono stati identificati sette ritratti di persone mobili che differiscono per abitudini, pratiche, esigenze, spazi e tempi vissuti.


CO-LIVING

CO-LIVING
[by Laura Vanazzi, July 2019]

This research is inspired by the studies in Politecnico di Milano at the department of Architecture and Urban Studies about the evolution of dwellings practices and the need of new spaces, policies and processes, in the contemporary housing scene in Italy. What emerges is a widespread of co-living practices, which do not regard only Italy but the entire world. Stimulated by these previous analysis, the thesis explores the topic of the co-habitation in order to construct a solid panoramic view and propose a design strategy for a co-living apartment.


RIPENSARE GLI SPAZI DELL’INFRASTRUTTURA

RIPENSARE GLI SPAZI DELL’INFRASTRUTTURA
[by Antonio Lento, April 2019]

Attraverso la ricognizione del dibattito che essi hanno prodotto, la tesi tenta di definire il proprio orizzonte problematico, ponendosi tre domande: quale ruolo l’infrastruttura ha assunto nel territorio urbano? Come la città può riappropriarsi degli spazi negati all’infrastruttura? Di quali valori sociali gli spazi infrastrutturali sono portatori?

 


IL TEMPO CHE SFUGGE ALLA STORIA

IL TEMPO CHE SFUGGE ALLA STORIA
[by Miriam Tinto, April 2019]

Il lavoro di ricerca e progetto nasce dal paradosso dell’abbandono più che ventennale di un capolavoro – due volte vincolato – dell’architettura moderna. Manufatto segnato da grande fortuna critica e annoverato tra i rari esempi di brutalismo italiano, l’Ex Istituto Marchiondi Spagliardi di Baggio è stato recentemente oggetto di diverse ipotesi di intervento di recupero destinate purtroppo a fallire, anche a fronte di una ormai eccessiva insostenibilità economica dell’operazione.
Se normalmente si pensa a rovine e macerie come prodotti del conflitto bellico, è corretto pensare al presente del Marchiondi non solo come prodotto di un conflitto amministrativo ma anche come risultato di un gap nel dibattito teorico, pratico e culturale italiano intorno al recupero dell’architettura moderna e contemporanea d’autore.


YOUTH COMMUNE

YOUTH COMMUNE
[by Vigan Zika, April 2019]

The “Rilindja” Media House building, was one of the victims of this process, its architecture, program and history were altered, it lost its importance, and as a result, a huge part of the architectural and historical heritage of Kosovo was erased.
These aspects introduced two key questions for the project: how a disfigured building in the city of Pristina can be transformed into an active social intersection between the city and its citizens? and how does the present situation affect the memory of the past?


OPPORTUNITIES

OPPORTUNITIES
[by Lorenzo Sizzi, April 2019]

Opportunities arises from the desire to conceive a strategy capable of preventing the practice of uncontrolled and unconscious reuse of churches. The strategy is organized in two phases. The first is based on the study of the work of two architects and is aimed at understanding the church building, which culminates in the definition of four fundamental properties. The second concerns re-use and, thanks to the theoretical support of the documents of a workshop and three conferences on the subject, the aim is to analyze a selection of case studies by experimenting a qualitative evaluation method that works by dividing the intervention into two themes: program
and spatiality.

RE-ACTIVATION-THROUGH INTEGRATION
[by Federico Riva, July 2018]
