Project I: Atelier Pedrozzi

Continuing a line of research already begun, the atelier will continue its reading of the Ticino territory in its “transversal” dimension, questioning and enhancing the multiple relationships that structure the space of the Canton as the orography changes. This reflection will be intertwined with another highly topical theme, namely the aggregation process in progress throughout the Canton. The intention is therefore to identify a “new” municipality, born from the conclusion of a recent fusion or in the process of doing it, and ‒ benefiting from its active collaboration ‒ to choose a series of project sites, distributed at different altitudes, that can become an ideal laboratory for reflecting on the territory and the potential of the new administrative and spatial dimension thus achieved.

Introducing students to the comprehension of the territory and promoting an awareness of transversal spatial relationships.

In presence

The atelier aims to stimulate and increase the participation of each student in the design process and in the critical reflection of the entire group; to do this, moments of confrontation will be encouraged, in which each project will become part of a broader and more dialectical discussion, which will also see the possible involvement of external guests from different disciplines.

The research will be introduced by a collective site experience and the projects will be developed individually.

Final reviews.
