Winter Semester 24/25 – Project 1 – Jacopo Ammendola, Angelika Burtscher
Exploring borders at multiple scales as dynamic spaces of transformation, the course examined their impact on social and ecological systems and reimagined them as intersections where disciplines, ideas, and practices converge. Students were encouraged to trespass, explore, and map these boundaries, charting new territories for design and collaboration.
The course was divided into three phases. In the first phase, Situating Us and Learning from Each Other, the students engaged with the Don Bosco neighborhood, conducted on-site research, and created a temporary exhibition at La Rotonda (in collaboration with our partner Officina Vispa).
In the second phase, Eco-Social Design: Exploring Methods, Concepts, and Tools, the group developed the collective research tool “Visual Lexicon.”
In the third phase, Towards Practice, the students worked in eleven groups on projects that, building on their research, tested real interventions in the context of the city of Bolzano.
