RecycLand
RecycLand is the 4th edition of
the walking Summer School promoted by the Laboratorio del Cammino (LdC), an
inter-university network of researchers that develops innovative teaching
activities aimed at exploring the methodological contribution of walking in
urban planning and design. The Summer School will take place in
August-September 2021 and will cross the territory between Biella and Turin by
walking. Participants will be asked to investigate the transformations taking
place in the territories crossed, and elaborate spatial narratives and possible
design trajectories for improving the habitability of places.
What metamorphoses affect the
spaces of production in the areas of Biella and Ivrea? In front of the current
global climate crisis, what responses emerge from the shrinking territories and
what trajectories for urban planning and design? And to what extent the walk
and the direct and bodily experience of places constitute a privileged angle
for grasping the dynamics of shrinkage, the transformation processes, the
temporary uses and the incremental reoccupation of industrial and housing
spaces?
The goal of Summer School is
to understand to what extent the “walking through”, the sight, the listening
and the slow crossing of places, are essential ways to read and investigate the
ongoing phenomena of shrinkage. In particular, supervised by teachers,
researchers and artists who work closely with the territory and its
transformations, students will be guided to research and describe the metamorphosis
of industrial spaces and to recognize the challenges posed by climate change.
