Lablog started many years ago, in 2005, with an opening pic taken on the spectacular terrace of this immense building: we were there with our students from POLIMI and, actually, many of us were using the Corbu hotel in the building, now partially destroied by the fire.

Here is the pic:

This year the Course for Diploma ‘Adaptive re-use’ (Facoltà di Architettura e Società/Politecnico di Milano) will focus its interests on specific topics connected with the on-going research project MeLa (European Museums in an Age of Migrations) investigating the new role Museums and Exhibitions could/should play in a multy-cultural society where questions such as Identity and Citizenship are strongly impacted by phenomena like the Europanization of Europe and the massive presence of permanent migrants in what we consider to be ‘our’ Europe or ‘our’ Nation or ‘our’ City or even ‘our’ territory. Here you can download a brief project presentation.

Another object of interest is the European XX Century Conflict Heritage – tangible and intangible legacies wars left behind – with a special focus on the Atlantic Wall and WWII period. Here you can download a brief presentation about how we think to approach this difficult theme.

Students at POLIMI (Italian or Foreigners) interested in developing their Diploma in such a field, could take contact with me (Gennaro Postiglione) using contact blog-mail in the ‘about page’.

On the 27th of January, thanks to ENI, we entered the former Stazione Agip in Piazzale Accursio, the building that will be the subject of our next Design Lab.
The semester is going to take off on the 16th of March, the detailed program will be posted here soon… Stay tuned!
