LAST DEADLINE 14 JUNE 2013

Reuse sites – Regenerate spaces
Recuperate potential


The fourth edition of Politecnico di Milano OC summer school focuses on the critical and problematic issue of the transformation of the contemporary city. Design will be focused on the urban spaces, the proposing forms and functions that renew a balance between artificial and natural. Piacenza however is characterized by a strong presence of low density, under-utilized ares, without a strong character or identity. Many of which are abandoned military areas, "in-between" areas without a present day use use or clearly defined future. By balancing "between growth and de-growth" as an approach to design, the students would identify the relation between the nature and the city referring to the "Common Ground" the theme proposed by David Chipperfield in the latest Venice Biennale.
