The FULL centre supported the design and implementation of a week-long workshop (20-24 March) for high school students on the theme of ‘Our City of the Future’. During this initiative, developed in collaboration with the Liceo Artistico Passoni as part of the Erasmusplus KA122 project, students from Turin worked together with two guest classes from Spain and Germany.
The workshop took place over four afternoons. On the first day, the participating girls and boys were introduced to the Turin context with a lesson on Turin’s urban and architectural history. Following this, each group was assigned a design exercise in one of the 13 selected sites in the Aurora-Lungo Dora area and was provided with the work ‘kit’ necessary to carry out the activity. The following day, the students visited and analysed their assigned sites, noting their essential characteristics with written notes, drawings and photos. On the third day, each group developed, discussed and elaborated on some key ideas for the transformation of the sites, summarising their proposal in the project map and fanzine. Finally, on the fourth and final day, the outcomes of the work were presented and commented on collectively in the gymnasium of the Liceo Passoni, assembling the projects into a new vision for the Turin ‘of the future’.
