Laboratory abstract

Over recent years our design studio titled "Open Neighborhoodsseeks" seeks to read, interpret and rethink a specific value of “Interior and Spatial Design”, exploring the vast “open” field of design research related to the deepest and most erratic characters of inhabiting spaces. A wide field, understood in all its extensions, which are probably in the origins of city and territory changings. Such research process has had, during the time, a constant matrix developing (by different shapes, prospects and places), a concept of interior spaces “refunctionalization”, in a contest that we defined of “genetic evolution of the urban metabolism”. Specifically, the NEW INTERIORS 2 Studio (A.A. 208/19) dealt with the complex issue of reunificating through temporary bridges (dry prefabricated structures), those districts "split" by the immense areas of the abandoned Milanese railway yards (specifically Scalo Farini, Porta Romana and Porta Genova) and currently under recovery. From this point of view "TO BRIDGE" emerged as a synonym of "connection", where the theme of the “crossing” was declined by the students in many ways of living and telling the bridge. In fact, the projects deal with different themes: from the urban cultivation to the suspended park, from the synesthetic experience to the narrative space of a neighborhood.

MANUFACTO, bridge, trace and indelible sign both on a physical and metaphorical level. A real artifact, a “lighthouse”, a meeting place that acts as a social catalyst and gives new life to the link, now missing, due to the abandoned railway of Porta Genova, to the areas of Tortona and Darsena. A memory combination of past and future manufacturing: companies such as Bisleri, Ginori, Riva Calzoni, etc. and then the so-called 4.0 manufacturing. The inhabited bridge will perform both the function of connection and the place of doing through temporary workshops. Its shape recalls an unfinished object in continuous construction and evolution.
