Gassino Architecture Summer School: Sewing a Small Town
Located
15 km from Turin, in the center of Piedmont, a region internationally
known for prestigious wine (such as Barbera, Moscato, Barolo and many
others) and the slow food concept, one hour by train from Milan, two
hours from the town of Genoa, in Liguria, and only an hour and a half by
plane from Paris, Gassino Torinese is characterized by a medieval
historic center waiting for a new reuse, because of its geographical
position: in fact, Gassino Torinese acts as a barycenter for the
settlements along the river Po, in the stretch between San Mauro
Torinese and Chivasso.
The summer
school's design themes will focus on the renovation, reuse and
re-utilization of old and valuable buildings located in this region to
be transformed in strategic places to be integrated into a contemporary
territorial context to create a smart, opensource system of cities, that
makes everything circular: it will be a territory of the hybrid and of
former structures to be transformed into poles for the creation of a
network of public transport and social exchanges today nonexistent.
Projects to connect former factories, former bus and tramway stations,
former agriculture structures and former other things, are the main
goals of the projects developed by the participants during the two-week
workshop.
Period: From July 18 to 30, 2016.
Eligibility:
Gassino Summer School is open to a maximum of 25 participants, students
or graduates in architecture (Bachelor or Master), Ph.D. students and
architects less than thirty years old on July 30, 2016. These 25
participants will be selected through the evaluation of portfolios and
curriculum vitae by a scientific committee.
