During this year, three Diploma works developed within the Reseaarch Unit of Interiors at POLIMI, have been awarded with meaningfull prizes.

Una aia solidale (2009)

by Andrea Pezzoli and Giulia Urciuoli

This work has been developed further and arrived to win the first prize in an open competition for the reuse of Cascina Mulino San Gregorio, inside Parco Lambro in Milan, for the On-Lus association CeAS. The project will therefore, in the closest future, become a real work. We will keep our eyes on the building site! For now, we can only say: CONGRATULATIONS to the two young architects!

Have a look at the work!

Slow life (2011)

Erica Borsa was awarded by the Municipality of Lodi for her Diploma work dealing with the reuse of an industrial heritage, the ‘Consorzio agrario’ in Lodi, beeing transformed in a co-working complex devoted to host artisans and KM 0 products.

Have a look at the work

Today we have presented to the students the subject of our next Design Lab, which will take off in March 2012. We are going to deal with the refurbishment of a dismissed Milanese petrol station that was designed and built in the beginning of the 50′s by Mario Bacciocchi. The building represents a very precious heritage for the city and for its owner, Eni S.p.A. As we started to research about the history of the building, and the company, we realized how intriguing this project might become if all the issues around it will be taken into account…

Few weeks ago, in Italy, we delivered a volume and an exhibition (MACRO-Testaccio in Rome untill 14/08/2011) titled “AREA Norway”, a monographic issue of the architecture magazine all about Oslo and Norway. Nature was the protagonist. Now, the same landscape tells stories of an incredible horrible event: a double attack to Norwegians where almost 100 people died. This was possible only due the peacefull trusting friendly Norwegian mode: never thinking about hevil and stupid actions. A Country where, in a such occasion, the Royal family and the politicians did not refrain to crying in front of the large mass of people gathering in the Oslo Cathedral to take part at the celebration for the victims.

We would like to express all our pain and nearness to Norway and to all Norwegians, with the hope they will never lose their inncence towards life and world.

Scene da un abbandono

Alianello (MT): Sabato 19 e domenica 20 marzo 2011

pic by Raniero Carloni album 2010 Aliano su Picasaweb

L’azione di allestimento-istantaneo del workshop si propone di realizzare un’esperienza di ri\conoscimento da parte degli studenti del corso del valore di alcune semplici unità di case contadine del borgo abbandonato di Alianello (MT) , stimolando gli stessi studenti ad immaginarne usi e sensi da mettere in scena partendo dai resti, dagli scarti che il caso ed il tempo hanno determinato: entrare in un luogo che, dopo tanta vita (storie di quotidiana fatica e banalità, sentimenti e violenze, nascite e morti, riso e pianti), ha conosciuto l’abbandono in un istante, senza che nessuno sia passato a mettere ordine.

Un luogo vero in quanto non musealizzato, dunque pieno di tracce.

Grete Prytz in her house in Planetveien 12, Oslo (pic by Nina Ruud)

Here is a Planetveien 12 gallery even you miss here the presence of life, for a different sequence look here.

Grete died the 25th of September 2010 at the age of 93: always working with the same energy and lively creativity! I met her the first time in 1994 and I was shocked by her beauty and cleverness: I was with Christian Norberg-Schulz who introduced me to one of the most outstanding woman I have ever met. From that visit, I have always tried to pass by her in the house she was leaving since the 1955: Planetveien 12! The house was designed by her husband Arne Korsmo (a master of  Norwegian second generation of Modern architects) between 1952 and 1955, just before he left for Trondheim, for him and her wife Grete. She spent all her life there, respecting the initial utopia of the house programme: a place for life & work. This has been Planetveien 12 until she left for ever!
