Laboratory abstract

The theme of the course was the design of the so-called “15-minute city”: an idea of city in which you can reach in max 15 minutes walk/bike the main facilities, services and places you need to conduct your everyday life. For this to be possible, cities and neighbourhoods need to be rethought, considering different urban planning and service strategies, in which indoor and outdoor, private and public spaces could accommodate different functions and time schedules, in hybrid fashion. The projects were based on the neighbourhood of “Nolo” - the “North of Loreto” area of Milano that now hosts “OFF CAMPUS Nolo” a local Living Lab of the Politecnico di Milano – with the aim of transforming the city in the name of proximity, in order to better live in time of Covid and beyond.

The project for “Viale Monza Sud” consists of three different structures, repeated twice along the road so as to allow both sides of the road to have the same possibilities. The project is divided into 6 “islands” able to produce energy by themselves through sustainable mechanisms. The first structure, with the function of a public library, where book presentations, poetry readings etc. can also be held, works with air turbines that allows the recharge of mobile phones. In the second structure, water is the main element used on the one hand for the sustenance of plants and on the other on the other as vapor to create a cool environment during the summer. The third and final structure concerns air: a balloon, inflated with helium and anchored to the base, covered with fabric, generates an urban interior.
