Social Practices in the Commons
No full textThe regeneration of the commons occurs through direct involvement of groups of people who interact closely with spaces and who aim to improve the overall quality of life and experiences connected with those spaces. This process starts from an increased consciousness towards places that do not belong to the private realm but are public or can potentially be used by the civic society. Revealing the commons means being aware of the potentialities of these “hidden places” to not only connect people with them, but for people to also create a sense of community and owner- ship among themselves that was previously unknown. By showing best practices developed by the Polimi DESIS Lab in the city of Milan and its surroundings, this paper reveals: how design relates to this process; the relationship between the time of involvement and the effectiveness of the result; the short- and long-term impacts of these interventions; and the legacy of the regeneration, including both failures and successes

Designing proximity with situated stakeholders
No full textNeighborhoods are becoming laboratories to test new ways to design the cities to solve social, environmental and cultural issues affecting global cities. The car-centered urban planning experienced in the 20th century has fostered researchers and practitioners to explore more the theme of livability and proximity. To trigger the blossoming of these models, a participatory process involving proactive networks of situated stakeholders is needed. This paper shows how competences from the academic realm can effectively boost civic awareness on the role that situated stakeholders have in producing solutions for their own wellbeing. It highlights a process enacted by the Polimi DESIS Lab with the community of Nolo (a neighborhood in Milan, Italy) with participatory design methods and tools. The research lab led two different activities to test a 3-phases strategy to explore the context and its feature, co-design new spatial (and social) solutions, and validate the results obtained

Get PDFPRELIMINARY SURVEY OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS WITH WEARABLE MOBILE MAPPING SYSTEMS AND UAV PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Get PDFIn cultural heritage, three-dimensional documentation of historic buildings is fundamental for conservation and valorisation projects. In recent years, the consolidated tools and methods: Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and close-range photogrammetry, have been joined by portable Mobile Mapping Systems (MMSs), which can offer significant advantages in terms of speed of survey operations at the price of reduced accuracy. The reduction of survey times and, therefore, costs makes the application of MMS techniques ideal for the preliminary stages of analysis of historical artifacts, when a rapid survey is indispensable for estimating the costs of conservation interventions.In this paper, we present a methodology for the expeditious survey of historic buildings and the surrounding urban fabric that is based on the use of an MMS and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The MMS is the Gexcel Heron MS Twin color. It was used to survey two architecture of interest and the urban context surrounding them from the ground level. The UAV is the DJI Mini 2, used to integrate the terrestrial survey by acquiring the buildings' roofs. The case study presented in the paper is the survey of San Clemente and San Zeno al Foro churches, two historic churches in the city centre of Brescia (Italy).The result are a complete point cloud of the two buildings and a metric virtual tour of all spaces. These results were made available to the architects through the Cintoo web platform to plan future activities.</p

System-Events Toolbox. Designing a System of Events that Relies on Local Resources to Create Urban Places for Social Cohesion
No full textThis chapter is a reflection on the use of public spaces in towns and the development of a system-events toolbox to make them places of social cohesion. It is the result of a 3-year action research developed together with POLIMI DESIS Lab of the Department of Design to develop design solutions to open up the public spaces of the campus to its surrounding neighborhood. The results have been tested in an event format called “il Sabato della Bovisa” held at the “Durando Campus” of the Politecnico di Milano. It presents a series of initiatives to understand, observe, and benefit designed by members of a public university to trigger a process of knowledge exchange between local residents and students in a climate of conviviality
Una forma de vida
Get PDFAndrés Miguel Fassi Jürgens es preparador físico, Director Técnico (DT) y empresario deportivo. Actualmente es Presidente del Club Atlético Talleres; fue elegido por los socios en noviembre de 2014, en el regreso a la normalidad institucional luego de la quiebra. Cuando decidió regresar al país, después de 25 años viviendo en el exterior, para trabajar por el club del cual es hincha desde los dos años de vida, Talleres estaba en una situación crítica tanto administrativa como deportivamente. Su política es novedosa y disruptiva respecto a la forma en que se gestionan los clubes en la región. Se propuso refundar Talleres, lo cual tuvo consecuencias en lo deportivo, pero también se reflejó en la expansión del club: se abrieron más de 200 filiales con socios en todas las provincias argentinas y en países extranjeros. Se trabajó en articulación con ámbitos públicos, privados y de la sociedad civil interesados en la temática del deporte, la educación y la solidaridad. También durante la presidencia de Andrés Fassi se abrió el Centro de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo Amadeo Nuccitelli, uno de los más sofisticados del continente, y se abrieron 120 escuelas oficiales de fútbol.
Un dato interesante: siete años atrás el club tenía 1.700 socios, pero en el contexto de la pandemia alcanzó a más de 50.000 socios activos, precisamente un momento donde la hinchada no pudo estar presente en la cancha, y eso a pesar de que algunos dicen que “jugar sin hinchada es como bailar sin música” (Galeano, 1995, p. 13). En el 2022, bajo la presidencia de Fassi, Talleres estuvo entre los 4 mejores equipos de la Argentina según la Federación Internacional de Historia y Estadística de Fútbol y entre los 8 mejores equipos de Latinoamérica, pues llegó siendo protagonista, a cuartos de final de la Copa Libertadores.
Al día siguiente de la eliminación de la Copa, Andrés Fassi dio a LAPSO la siguiente entrevista en el Centro Amadeo Nuccitelli. La conversación giró en torno a lo que despierta el club, la pasión por Talleres desde sus primeros recuerdos de vida y la decisión de trabajar allí, pero también sobre cómo se puso en juego la presencia durante la pandemia, cómo Talleres “se puso la camiseta” de las maneras más ingeniosas. Con un tono de voz alto y enérgico, con su presencia inconfundible, dio comienzo a esta conversación
