The lectures (in English language) will be held by members of Izmo (experts,
doctoral candidates and PhD holders), and will address issues relating to the
semi-public space, with the aim to provide insights as broad and multidisciplinary
as possible. In addition, students will have the opportunity to experience firsthand
methods of participation and field research that will enable him or her to observe
the space and interact with citizens and stakeholders.
The training offered will be further enhanced by a meeting with esterni [Italy]
and Bureau Detours [Denmark] that as special-guests will show their projects and
approaches to the semi-public space.
At the end of their lessons, participants will intervene effectively on the semi-public
space of Cecchi-Point: a multicultural hub of a neighborhood located in Turin,
near Izmo’s office. Students will design and realize a series of installations
and furnishings to help redevelop the courtyard of Cecchi-Point that represents
the heart of the aggregative neighborhood space. Each student will have all the
materials and work tools necessary and will be mentored by Izmo staff in every
phase of the project.
Participants of the Summer School will be awarded 3 credits, recognized by the
Politecnico di Torino, transferrable at any other university (in Europe with ECTS).
In addition, we will provide constant support in logistics, housing research,
mobility, and tourism.
