"Biography, Identity and the Modern Interior "
Through a series of case studies from the mid-eighteenth century to the start of the twenty-first, this collection of essays considers the historical insights that ethno/auto/biographical investigations into the lives of individuals, groups and interiors can offer design and architectural historians. Established scholars and emerging researchers shed light on the methodological issues that arise from the use of these sources to explore the history of the interior as a site in which everyday life is experienced and performed, and the ways in which contemporary architects and interior designers draw on personal and collective histories in their practice. Historians and theorists working within...
L'architettura italiana per la città cinese
Sin dalla loro nascita, le Esposizioni Universali sono state lo specchio della visione di progresso del sistema economico mondiale. In origine, tale obiettivo veniva esplicitato attraverso rappresentazioni tese a celebrare la capacità dell'ingegno umano nel superare ogni vincolo che la natura gli poneva di fronte. L'Esposizione cinese è stata la più straordinaria mai realizzata sull'urbanizzazione, e ha lanciato al mondo, Italia compresa, una sfida cruciale: quale modello di città si può immaginare in un prossimo futuro? L'Italia ha colto questa sfida interpretando un Padiglione che sa di "città del futuro", intitolato "La città dell'uomo", in cui l'uomo torna ad essere protagonista, ...
Re-Framing Identities
From 1970–1990, architecture experienced a revision as part of the post-modern movement. The critical attitude to the functionalistic Moderne style and the influence of semiotics and philosophical trends, such as phenomenology, on architectural theory led to an increased interest in its history, expression, perception, and context. In addition, architectural heritage and the care of architectural monuments gained importance. This development also increasingly challenged the ideologically based division between East and West. Instead of emphasizing the differences, the search was for a joint cultural heritage. The contributions in this volume question terms such as "Moderne" and "post-modern", and show how architecture could again represent local, regional, and national identity.
The University as a Settlement Principle
The 1960s and the 1970s marked a generational shift in architectural discourse at a time when the revolts inside universities condemned the academic institution as a major force behind the perpetuation of a controlling society. Focusing on the crisis and reform of higher education in Italy, The University as a Settlement Principle investigates how university design became a lens for architects to interpret a complex historical moment that was marked by the construction of an unprecedented number of new campuses worldwide. Implicitly drawing parallels with the contemporary condition of the university under a regime of knowledge commodification, it reviews the vision proposed by architects suc...
MIAW 2021
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano – School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers, and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. It aims to stimulate cross-over thinking between researchers and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. The MIAW 2021 edition focused on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina. The workshop experimented with new design approaches to make the Olympic Games physically responsible, socially sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Modernità postantica
Il Medianum della Casa di Giove e Ganimede (II sec. d.C.), tornato ad una concezione introversa della dimora, diventa per l’architetto adrianeo che ne fu autore uno spazio diffi cile e nuovo, da indagare progettualmente perché non canonico – come era invece l’atrio del Domus classica. Ne nasce uno spazio impuro e ambiguo, affascinante per un architetto davvero moderno come Mario De Renzi. Egli, basando il progetto Furmanik sui principi del Medianum si trova in una condizione altrettanto, se non più difficile di quella dell’architetto della Casa di Giove e Ganimede. Il modo di vivere moderno non sopporta la scarsità di luce di molti spazi d’uso della dimora antica. Dividendo il...
MIAW 2022
The MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the Politecnico di Milano, School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, that provides an international design forum for schools, teachers and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss issues and share ambitions that education implies. Its aim is to stimulate cross-over thinking between researches and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. Each class has an international guest professor of high profile whose activity and interests are related to the different study courses and disciplinary areas characterising our School.
Community/architecture
In che termini l’architettura interpreta l’esigenza comunitaria nell’era della globalizzazione e della conseguente evoluzione dei fenomeni urbani anche alla luce di una crescita esponenziale dell’espressione comunitaria virtuale? Partendo da questo primo interrogativo critico il Festival raccoglie una serie di materiali e testimonianze che dimostrano anche il superamento dell’identificazione esclusiva del tema con le grandi tipologie collettive pubbliche, architettoniche e urbane, dell’esperienza storica. Tuttavia, pur attraverso il rilievo di fenomeni insediativi non caratterizzati, articolazioni tematiche differenziate e contributi apparentemente riferibili alla soggettività d...
