QHLab2020… a Biography

Tuesday, June 16th, 2020

An exploration of house-lives biographies in quarantined times, through the works of bachelor students from Politecnico di Milano, AUIC school.

March 2020: After a first wave in Asia, the spread of the Covid-19 in different countries of the world has lead many Governments to establish a series of lockdowns, asking people to stay at home in more or less restrictive ways. In some countries, the “quarantine” has lasted more than two months.

This is the link to browse through students’ work and this the link to a video summary of the semester.

ASS. 01.1
Delivery: 20th March

The goal is to understand the complexity of contemporary dwelling through the study of new ways to live.

You’ll start from analysing your own habitat, later on you’ll map some case studies between your friends and your acquaintances.

For Ass.01.1 every student has to report his own habitat. Starting from a simple reflection on how many beds you have at your disposal, through a photo survey describe the space you live in, and sketch the plan to report space and relations.
