The workshop addresses the architecture project from the point of view of interior space.

As a fundamental phenomenon independent of the scale to which it applies, it is characterized by a peculiar attention to its users and their gestures of relationship and openness to others and to the world; is captured and determined as a concrete body constructed, in dynamics, verified to the scale of detail, between its edges, the light that animates it, the furnishings that equip it, the materials and decorative elements that qualify it; aims to define a precise identity of every place, in the dialectic between spacecraft, figuration, dimensioning, structural aspects, environmental control, and energy performance. The laboratory places particular emphasis on the recovery of existing and often fragile architectural and architectural heritage by interpreting the themes of contemporary living, from those of residence to those of complex and multifunctional organisms for culture, museum systems and social life up to to those of retraining and open space equipment. Integration with the disciplines of technical physics allows for the verification of microclimate comfort in residential new buildings and upgrading existing ones, lighting and acoustics for museum sites, exhibitions, culture and commerce in a 'efficiency of the product and energy saving.

The attendance is mandatory and the revisions of work will be regularly registered. Students must work in the studio and attend all studio discussions.

According to the Dublin Descriptors (DdD), passing the exam certifies the acquisition of the following results:

DdD 2 ability to apply knowledge and understanding

- ability to develop the interior space project at the appropriate scale, in which the attention to the human dimension of architecture is expressed in the definition of the material and constructive aspects, of the furnishing equipment or of the exhibition systems;

DdD 3 (autonomy of judgment), 4 (communication skills) and 5 (learning ability)

- ability to operate and communicate independently the design choices made (DdD 3, 4 and 5).

The course will focus on the development of a project starting from the analysis of the possibilities and potencialities of an existing strutture.

The project will be the physical consequence of the conceptual vision of the architectural idea which will be investigate as the common theme throughout the different scales of the process.

We would take a disused area of Milan and try to understand its essence. We would explore different types of approach to history and site through the formulation of a clear and coherent architectural idea that will dictate the intervention strategy and physical materialization, verifying the different spatial scales, from large public spaces to domestic intimacy for a new center of art, culture and research.

Students will develop their project in small groups.

no preconditions

The attendance is mandatory and the revisions of work will be regularly registered. Students must work in the studio and attend all studio discussions.

Students evaluation is based on the ability to develop a design process and succefully communicate their project in a mid-term revision and a final presentation.
