Thesis type URBAN PLANNING / URBAN DESIGN
Description The erosion of nineteenth-century forms of cohabitation has led to the invalidation of those references to community and family that had ensured the transmission of values and the clear delineation of city spaces.
During the Nineties the mechanisms of fragmentation and dissipation of the city were believed to be the clearest expression of this rupture. As such, great attention was given to investigate the implications of urban sprawl.
Observers of today’s city cannot help but note a new “shared living” turn, new in that they combine in part prior early-twentieth-century ideas of comunal space and with late-twentieth-century expressions of individualism. This new “shared living” is fragile and time-sensitive, regardless of the populations inhabiting it.
This seminar is configured as a collaborative site for the exploration and design of these new forms of sharing in the contemporary city and of the spaces (physical and social) that they occupy.
The seminar’s hypothesis is that these forms of sharing can lead to a major action plan, both for political action and for the technical competence of the architect and urbanist.
To complete a degree in this seminar inter-disciplinary investigation methods and non-traditional design approaches are required. The expertise of the teachers associated to this laboratory reflect these qualifications.

Required skills Students should have:
1. experience in the field of urban design (having attended at least one DU or other workshops on the issue).
2. a good knowledge of contemporary urban planning practice.
Notes 1. Participation in the seminar is subject to an interview in which the candidate is asked to explain the reasons for his/her interest. Partecipants to the second year of course master thesis Architettura, Costruzione Città will lead the investigation and the design in the second semester of Academic Year 2011-2012.
2. The thesis will be structured in both seminar discussion and individual work. A blog on the topics covered in the seminar will support the discussion and the stages of the work.
3. It will be taken into account the possibility of introducing the role of external reviewer at the moment of the final discussion of the thesis.
