Project 1 – Bolzano Open City Lab  

›The question of what kind of city we want cannot be divorced from the question of what kind of people we want to be, what kind of social relations we seek, what relations to nature we cherish…‹ (Rebel cities by David Harvey, 2012) ~ Starting from these considerations students encountered the city and its actors and developed proposals for situated eco-social transformations at a local level.  
Teaching team: Jacopo Ammendola, Mustapha El Moussaoui, Teresa Palmieri (Eco-social Design), Sonia Matos (Design Research).  Project 1 Teasers ↘︎

Project 3 – Thesis Preparation Projects 

Get the focus, vision and conceptual framing of thesis of projects in progress ~  based on research and design in the real world, on explorations and experiments, theories and strategies, magic and dance. Transdisciplinary and transformative. From collapse and despair to commoning and care. 
Teaching team: Sonia Matos (Transformation-engaged Design Research), Seçil Uğur Yavuz (Eco-social Design), Kris Krois (Eco-Social Design)
