Reinventing City Assemblage
“Reinventing City Assemblage” is an experimental way of exploring cities’ complex transformations and their urban forms. Students work at different deliverables, to creatively address: a) the design of spaces for living and working that reflect changes in urban inhabitants, their lifestyle and expectations; b) the agglomeration of co-existing fragments around common grounds such as gardens, streets, and shared covered spaces; c) the articulation of built volumes and collective or more intimate “in between” places; d) forms of urbanization that question urban indexes and building density in a challenging context in Torino. Students had the possibility of working individually and in team, engaging in re-using their peers’ proposals and understanding for real how to practice compromising.
