MONDAY_22.01.2018

until the end_BRAINSTORMING -3

‘ The day started with a big revision and we printed everything we had for that day. We discussed about the recent design ideas and there was some disconnection about the ideas because we were too much people to decide on one project. Everyone told their ideas and with the help of the professor we came up with some new ideas. We drew some sketches and tried to combine the different opinions. Since it is the final day for concluding the design according to the schedule, we immediately started drawings.’

 

TUESDAY_23.01.2018

until the end_GRAPHIC TESTS -2

‘This is the deadline of our project for our masterplan. After all the groups checked the plan again, we started coloring the masterplan and checking the surrounding buildings with their shadows. We had 2 3 different coloring techniques and different types of textures to select one of them.’

 

WEDNESDAY_24.01.2018

until the end_MUNICIPALITY AND DEAN’S VISIT -1

‘We started coloring the masterplan according to our group discussions and it took our whole day. At the end of the day we had our final layout with the final printings and we started to discuss about how to hang them for the exhibition.’

SUNDAY_21.01.2018

MODEL

‘We took the day of and worked from home. We combine the analysis of the photo group with our diagrams to mention all green areas around the site. Also we tried to figure out the boarders of the areas in order to help the design of the project.’

SECOND DAY_16.01.2018

SITE SURVEY _ SCUDERIE DI MONTEL

A SPEED TALK_PAULO DAVID + GEI BRENDELAND + GENNARO POSTIGLIONE

‘The day started with the field trip. We took photos and videos of the Scuderie and the  surrounding area. The professor gave us some information about the site, relations of the buildings and how to think through the project. In the afternoon we discuss about the photos that we took and what we think important about the site in urban context. It was really helpful to understand what people think, in order to have one project at the end of the workshop.’

 

THIRD DAY_17.01.2018

A PROCESS STUDIO_WHAT THE PLACE ASKS FOR

‘We divided into three groups as model making, photos and video, drawings. It was a helpful choice to have this kind of grouping for the improvement of the project and finish it in the expected time. We were in the drawing group and we were responsible for the schemes and diagrams. We found the chance to work on something that we enjoy. After dividing into groups and figure out what to do, all teams came together and discussed about the general ideas and which information to collect. We worked on it through the day.’

FOURTH DAY_18.01.2018

A PROCESS STUDIO_TOPICS/QUESTIONS

‘We all decided about the boundaries of the project area and then we worked on the model of the site. We used different programs to have a clean base to see all connections of the green and problems of the San Siro area. After modeling we had a clean base to work on the diagrams. We had a group meeting about what to include in the analysis of the site. Through the day while we were working on the Photoshop, our group found some references and examples about the project.’

 

FIFTH DAY_19.01.2018

PLAN PROJECT GROUP

VIDEO EDITING GROUP

MODEL GROUP

‘We started the day with a discussion and give a break to join the design team. After deciding on some ideas, on the whole day we finished the urban diagrams of the existing project area. It was really exciting to have the ideas together with 25 people and interacting with the other groups for the diagrams.’

 

 

 

 

Geir Brendeland WS day III – work in progress

Trying to gather all the helpful information in order to be able to start producing ideas and proposals that can help the area of Milan that this workshop is analyzing. Positioned close to Fondazione Prada, this area seems to be developing very fast, and this workshop will try to understand what’s the best future for it and for its inhabitants.

A COLLABORATIVE PLANNING PROCESS FOR SCALO GRECO’S URBAN REDEVELOPMENT

MIAW 2018 – MAKING PROCESS PUBLIC

THE CITY IS A PROCESS, and not a mere product. The city is furthermore a mesh of divergent processes, led by a big range of actors, which follow different directions, interests and values. It can be understood as an intense battlefield, in which different factions of capital, politics and institutions try to spatialize their concurrent power projects, but in which also disempowered citizenship and democracy have a chance to flourish.

In that sense, the city is too complicated to be “designed” as a result. Authorship does not seem to be the proper tool for the definition of large and complex urban environments, and architects, urban designers and planners have to rethink their role in the production of urbanity, in order to allow A BIG RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS – public body, real estate developers and investors with different scales, co-ops and communities, and also citizens- into the urban negotiation. Only a city, which can be produced by all, can be really democratic.

The conventional apparatus of architecture and planning appears as highly inadequate to deal with such a complex system as the contemporary city has become. Product and object oriented, it fails to describe a reality, which has much more to do with processes and relations than with results. We need NEW TOOLS, able to describe and transform the production rather than the products, and the processes rather than the objects. We need new models, able to represent the different actors’ visions and interests, and to manage their intense negotiations on this new urban arena. Continue reading →

Material culture, consumption and  indeterminacy in the contemporary city

  1. Hypothesis.

We are quite clear about what kinf of food, supplies or clothing will go along with us the rest of our days, but we can not determine with certainty where or how we will reach them… The indeterminacy, precisely, has been slowly advancing on everything we had learned about the commercial exchange space. The speed with which our object system undergoes format changes without physical presence forces us to imagine new scenarios. The image associated with the market or its typological correlate has lost weight at the same time as the activities it contains have diversified. Its organization has stopped responding to a functional program -now overflowing and unstable- and its projection over time has been relativized until to the moment that having a market for a single type of consumption is no longer as reassuring as it used to be.

  1. Objectives.

The workshop “Living Market.” will be the ambit where these transformations will boost the construction of a new agenda for the trade space, thus obliging us to review the extent to which our project tools are still valid. The city -understood as the ideal laboratory where to test this notion of habitat- will be the area of ​​essay that will dialogue with these transformations.

  1. Exercise.

A building will be projected on the site where today the Gorla Market resides, a neighborhood in Milan that begins a process of incorporating new programs by opening up to the possibility of modifying its identity. It will not work as a building with a single programmatic purpose, it can be a market and -at the same time- much more. We will only project a property: a construction that is denominated in its notarial terms and not through its programs or functions. This kind of zero degree imposed as a starting point will aim to facilitate the appearance of unexpected uses and social groupings.

OBJECTIVES
01. The exercise arises from the confrontation between the physical transformation of a place, the operation in the peripheral space of the city and the underlying social experience.
With this assumption, and similarly to acupuncture, we propose a mode of absorption of the past, a use of memory as an operative element in the search for project alarm clocks. The aim is to test the importance of the slow course, time and face-toface analysis as a process of (re) discovery and understanding of forgotten places in cities that have in themselves the potentialities to be important orthoses in the urban fabric.
We propose speculation about programs emerging from past circumstances, but that have the potential to create a critical position in the present.
What are these moments of connection in the cities today?

02. The project process should be approached in four structuring
components:

SCALE | PROGRAM | TIME | LIMITS
03. The development and submission of tenders shall meet the
following criteria:
03.01 Phenomenological analysis through a guided course
03.02 Morphological analysis of the place
03.03 Historical analysis of the place and the evolution / expansion of
the city
03.04 Synthetic model of the understanding of the urban structure and
the volume of the proposal
03.05 Dialogue and relation of the program with the city.
