Un-useful: delivering exercise #2

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Simone Gritti

CM-interni ’08 exercise # 2 (UN-USEFUL) requires to transform a real existent building, site, space, etc. into something astonishing, with lightness and poetry, in order to make people full of wonder [wonder-full]. It is important to work within the “Everyday scape” and not to search for abstract configuration.

Lately, in the Faculty of Architettura e Società (Politecnico di Milano) started a discussion around the Erasmus Programme. Due to some students requests (presented in the attached document), I wish to give, as done also in a public meeting, my answers. I do believe in communication and in sharing knowledge, but since it does not seam what we have discussed so far it has been perceived, I hope my clarification can be of use for all interested in our faculty but also out side, from colleagues spread around.

Please help to divulgate the commented document.
