In 2020 the LOL [Landscape O(f)f Limits] International Workshop - organized by POLIMI Piacenza Campus and its Master in Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design - is a new form of Landscape, Urban and Architectural Design Intensive Event which – because of the health emergency – will be set on virtual platforms, in its 1st edition. The Workshop will work about the topic: Po River Regained, The New Piacenza Landscape. In Piacenza the different landscapes of the Po river can trigger innovative social and cultural processes capable of reactivating today the memory of the river, composite and rooted in an ancient past. But they can also become both places able to qualify the supply of spaces and equipment for leisure, and places for the protection of bio-diversity, effective in contrasting the phenomena of degradation of the ecological systems. Divided into groups, participants (students from 3rd year Bachelor and from 1st-level Master, selected through curriculum and portfolio) will be asked to design a floating pavilion on the river Po, intended as a small narrative museum that represents, also through the use of multimedia installations, the most significant elements of the changing, complex and stratified relationship between the river, the city and its territory.

There will be two intertwining lines of action the design groups are called to deal with:

Line 1: contents and narrative structure of the multimedia part of the project, which could be translated into a web-site;

Line 2: the architecture of the floating pavilion, an "immersive" experience that defines the physical space of the small museum of narration in the landscape of the river, between inside and outside.

Workshop kick-off: August 31st, 2020

Final projects presentation: September 11st, 2020
