Rewriting the urban commons. A sustainable approach to urban logistics
No full textThis research investigates how the cycle logistics affects the design and transformation of streets and public spaces. As part of an industrial PhD programme, the study considers the urban practices that affect the space for the movement of people and goods, in the broader framework of the ‘rewriting of the city’, as a critical transformative action of what already exists. Recognising the role of the bicycle in creating more sustainable, healthy and inclusive societies, the contribution interweaves several perspectives: accessibility to services, active mobility and decarbonisation. In this sense, sustainable logistics is seen as an opportunity to improve quality of life and urban well-being. The study observes the changes in the use of space promoted by citizens, companies and third sector organisations. It analyses how their practices relate to projects for the redesign of space for movement and the creation of multifunctional spaces related to cycle logistics and active mobility

No full textBack to (the Future) School. Reshaping the Relationship Between Mobility and Schools
No full textThe paper proposes the first results of the La mia scuola va in classe A project, a participatory research and planning process promoted by the City of Venice, with the collaboration of the Cooperativa Sestante di Venezia and the Iuav University of Venice. Co-funded by MIT’s “National Experimental Program of Sustainable Home-School and Home-Work Mobility.” The project tries to rethink the relationship between school and city, between school spaces and urban fabric, through the development of educational and participatory processes aimed at the school system. The participatory pathway involves the school community in developing actions and interventions that promote active mobility on home-school routes and a rethinking of the street, threshold and proximity spaces of four inland Venetian elementary schools. Through a reconstruction of the process, we reflect on how to interweave relationships and mutual learning between school and city, with the shared elaboration of an imaginary oriented toward active mobility, awareness of the importance of motor autonomy and the psycho-physical well-being of the local community. The proposed design solutions will have the role of holding together the different instances in a fertile path leading to the improvement of the conditions of the spaces of mobility and proximity, with the idea of opening the city to the school and the school to the city, to improve the relationship between people and to return spaces of possibility to children.La contribution propose les premiers résultats du projet La mia scuola va in classe A, un projet de recherche et de conception participative promu par la municipalité de Venise, avec la collaboration de la coopérative Sestante et de l’université Iuav de Venise. Cofinancé par le “Programme expérimental national de mobilité durable domicile-école et domicile-travail” du MIT. Le projet tente de repenser la relation entre l’école et la ville, entre les espaces scolaires et le tissu urbain, à travers le développement de processus éducatifs et participatifs destinés au système scolaire. Le processus participatif implique la communauté scolaire dans le développement d’actions et d’interventions qui favorisent la mobilité active dans les trajets domicile-école et une refonte de la rue, du seuil et des espaces de proximité de quatre écoles primaires dans l’arrière-pays vénitien. À travers une reconstruction du processus, la contribution réfléchit à la manière d’imbriquer les relations et l’apprentissage mutuel entre l’école et la ville, avec l’élaboration partagée d’une imagerie orientée vers la mobilité active, la prise de conscience de l’importance de l’autonomie motrice et le bien-être psycho-physique de la communauté locale. Les solutions de conception proposées auront pour rôle de réunir les différentes instances dans un parcours fertile conduisant à l’amélioration des conditions des espaces de mobilité et de proximité, dans l’idée d’ouvrir la ville à l’école et l’école à la ville, d’améliorer la relation entre les personnes et de redonner des espaces de possibilité aux enfants
Dentro e fuori le scuole = Inside and outside schools
No full textThe paper traces the outcomes of an Integrated Design Workshop at Iuav carried out in collaboration with the La mia scuola in classe A project promoted by the City of Venice. The workshop worked on the relationship between school and city starting from the rethinking of threshold spaces as transition points with its surroundings, in terms of role, habitability and connectivity with the urban and natural context of four elementary school in Mestre
Lungo il percorso casa-scuola, lungo il progetto "Venezia in classe A"
No full textIl contributo si colloca nel dibattito sulle possibilità di riconquista della strada come spazio pubblico e infrastruttura inclusiva della quotidianità in relazione con gli spazi
del welfare . Si ripercorre La mia scuola va in classe A, un percorso di ricerca e progettazione partecipata, promosso dal Comune di Venezia con la collaborazione della cooperativa Sestante di Venezia e dell’Università IUAV di Venezia . Il progetto lavora sulla relazione tra scuola e città a partire dal ripensamento degli spazi di soglia come punti di transizione, in termini di ruolo, abitabilità e connettività con il contesto urbano e naturale di quattro scuole primarie dell’entroterra veneziano . Attraverso una restituzione critica del caso, si indaga il potenziale rapporto tra scuole, pratiche e politiche di mobilità attiva a diverse scale, contribuendo a una geografia nazionale e internazionale di esperienze di ingaggio nel progetto dello spazio urbano della comunità scolastica
