IF INTANGIBLE HERITAGE Intangible heritage at risk [by Andrea Bergamini, Stefano Mori, 2013]
Focusing on artistic and traditional craftsmanship in northern Italy, the project addresses the risk of losing skills and knowledge that form part of the country’s intangible cultural heritage. As production declines and transmission between generations weakens, craft practices become increasingly fragile. The research proposes architecture not as a mere container, but as a strategic framework capable of supporting knowledge exchange, collaboration, and renewal, turning endangered traditions into active drivers of cultural continuity.
INCLUSIVE CITY Diverse city. Creative city. [by Guadalupe Ciocoletto, April 2013]
Set in Milan, the project explores migration, cultural diversity, and hyper-diversity as defining conditions of the contemporary city. It investigates how immigration reshapes urban, social, and economic structures, questioning segregation while highlighting diversity as a driver of creativity and growth. Through the design of a co-working hub, the project proposes architecture as a tool to foster integration, collaboration, and social cohesion, redefining the city as an inclusive platform shaped by cultural exchange.
