Drawing the City. Dialogues between Art/Artistic and Architecture. Architectural and Environmental Characters of Borgata Vittoria.
The workshop aimed to create a dialogue through drawing between students of the Bachelor of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Turin and the Liceo Artistico Cottini. Drawing is for all of them the tool through which to dialogue and confront each other, experimenting with graphic and expressive techniques to communicate, each one, their own way of seeing and perceiving the observed reality. Drawing is understood here as a language capable of narrating aspects of Borgata Vittoria. Parallel to the students' sketches, in which signs and colors evoke and interpret the architecture and multiple other aspects captured from life of the oldest core of the borough and the recently transformed area of Parco Dora, the collective work “DRAWINGS AND COLORS NARROW THE SOUL OF BORGATA VITTORIA” is exhibited: a work on canvas, as a proposal for a Tactical Urbanism intervention, to be made on the pavement of a space in the borough to become its visual and identifying reference for a new urban hub of aggregation.
