week of the workshop Prof. Careri, rose in the building occupied the former Fiorucci factory on Prenestina, called by its occupants "Metropoliz" experience was a very strong, intense and distinct from other university courses.
The theme that I trussed the most interesting and which I experienced first hand was the redevelopment of a public space in a very degraded.
My work and that of my mates has been re-created on a small square (approximately 16m x 20m) the paving of Michelangelo to Piazza del Campidoglio.
The first day of work we had to deal with new issues:
1) how to construct the geometric pattern.
2) how to make the pavement.
3) how to share the locals.
After a moment of confusion, we decided to roll up our sleeves and finding the site of equipment and utensils, going to buy a small charge missed the rest of the materials, we started building the design of the nails and staring at the ground by measuring the various boards and string junctions that we needed.
The first surprise was that while we worked and the picture began to emerge from the asphalt the inhabitants of the houses did not give any importance to our work and do not even seem surprised.
The next day, upon arrival we found our work destroyed by children. Unbelievers with great bitterness of what we decided to start over all the work, the substantial difference, however, and we tried to tell and explain our work and the history of the design community that is now more interested in the project. Children who showed interested and they quickly set to work while some of them helped us the other kept an eye on younger children and rowdy. The thing that
given more satisfaction when the job was seen as making all the people who will share the space, work can become easier and faster .¬¬¬¬
This workshop made me feel as through a sign, a small detail, social life of a place can greatly improve. Of
as now in this place you feel part of a community or at least in something organized and not random.
I know that our small action will have an improvement in the lives of the inhabitants of metropoliz, but I strongly believe that every time we gather in the evening that little rectangle of asphalt, will have a little 'to the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing' inside a square of a small village and perhaps will be more relaxed and free to engage in a dialogue with its neighbors as if they were the inhabitants of the country, although in reality people will be very different from around the world who have great difficulty in cultural-linguistic 'approach.
