(Der Kurs wird in deutscher Sprache durchgeführt, hier ist die Beschreibung jedoch vorläufig in englischer Sprache)

There are numerous unused and unattractive corners of the city, how can we revitalise these?

Could one architectural element transform a whole square?

Could it bring about new actions and behaviours?

Could the designed situation contribute to a sense of community and well-being?

Oasis is a project where one small scale engagement automatically brings about discussion about a larger scale. In order to revitalise a “forgotten corner” in the city we will create a catalyst of some sort, which has a positive effect locally and city-wide. Such a catalyst can be a sculpture, illumination concepts, temporary structures, a fountain, plants, a shelter, and so forth which affects actions and behaviour among its users.

We will study master plans made by prominent urbanists and try to identify our particular role and our project’s scale as part of such strategies. For example, we will use Secchi+Viganò’s concept of the generic, specific and active policies, that creates conceptual links between a city’s spirit, specific spatial areas and interaction between the built environment and its inhabitants.

Es wird eine Zwischenpräsentation (Midterm: 3. Dez.) und eine Abschlusspräsentation (Final: 28. Jan.) mit Gastkritikern geben. Derzeit ist der Soziologe Alvise Mattozzi von der Freien Universität Bozen eingeladen.
