Abstract

This chapter is a reflection on the use of public spaces in towns and the development of a system-events toolbox to make them places of social cohesion. It is the result of a 3-year action research developed together with POLIMI DESIS Lab of the Department of Design to develop design solutions to open up the public spaces of the campus to its surrounding neighborhood. The results have been tested in an event format called “il Sabato della Bovisa” held at the “Durando Campus” of the Politecnico di Milano. It presents a series of initiatives to understand, observe, and benefit designed by members of a public university to trigger a process of knowledge exchange between local residents and students in a climate of conviviality.

Temporary Urban Solutions is an elective postgraduate course held yearly at the School of Design at the Politecnico di Milano since 2011 by prof. Davide Fassi. It is a studio-based course mainly run as an intensive workshop with a mix of international students with several backgrounds in the field of design (communication, product, interior, service, fashion etc). Students are asked to work together in small teams of 4-5 people and to come out with an action (merging the hardware and the software sides of design) to be tested at the end of the course with real users. Briefs are given by the instructor who developed them in advance with his research team and local actors.
