Laboratory abstract

The Laboratory aims to instruct a path through which to lead the student to the acquisition of specific knowledge for the exercise of design, as well as for the learning and testing of tools and techniques for reading, interpretation and the creation of specific spaces of use. In this path reference is made to places related to hospitality design in relation to a sequence of different "points of view" from which to look at the genesis and evolution of some sedimentary typologies as well as the emergence of innovative types. The student will be initiated, initially, to the understanding of the dynamics that invest the spaces for hospitality (from historical evolution to typological analysis, from the study of current trends to the search for paradigmatic case studies) and then to the construction of a project "concept" in a context attributed by the teacher. This involves in particular the design of hybrid spaces, straddling the spaces of low-cost hospitality and spaces dedicated to study and work. The workshop activity is complemented by a series of contributions from external guests on issues related to metadesign. The teaching also includes an innovative didactic component, provided through the MOOC "Introducing Metadesign" specifically prepared for the Metaproject Workshops: students will benefit from the online contents and will autonomously deepen the specific topics covered by the videos.

The BonSha Hotel project has been thought as a requalification of a building under construction in Bovisa area, in Milan. Even before we begun thinking of the project itself, we led a social analysis to point out needs and requests of people on a random spot-check around the city. After we gathered all this informations, we created some “personas”, consisting of five different subjects, each one distinguished by a unique set of values but common needs. We were assigned a specific Brand to study as a starting point for the creation of our model: MUJI. An exquisitely Japanese atmosphere, in which the keyword is “essentiality”. Finely handcrafted wood, translucent plastic and high quality paper. Drawing after drawing, a well-defined main concept, on which we based our work, begun to make its way through our minds: very few elements, clean and neat. We tried to convey this message with the vision, showing the user that most of the furniture, objects and materials in a room are often unnecessary. By mutual agreement, we decided to recreate a comfortable place that might add something interesting to the Milan’s existing heritage. We also tried to follow as much as we could MUJI’s intrinsic characteristics of a general high quality and to declinate as we need; functional for users with different requests but the same request: relax. Bonsha in a place that can provide a perfect accommodation and a meditation area that gives you the possibility to take care of bonsai: what more could you want?
