Parking Day 2013 & UniverCity 1st Lecture & Urban Design Workshop II & Zingonia Colouring Book & Zingonia UniverCity Workshop

This project is part of a wider process that, supported by the local administrations, aims to improve the living conditions of Zingonia’s citizens; since 2013, “Zingonia 3.0” follows this path operating to enhance the cohesion between the various communities. In 2014, an international Workshop is organised in Zingonia to focus on the problems and potentialities of the public spaces; a key point of it was the study on “Piazza Affari”, which still holds a high symbolical meaning. It had two main outputs, a plenary session to present the possible future scenario of interventions and the publication of a comic book for children.

URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP II

During the Urban Design Workshop, the students, divided into focus groups, observed the environment and met the local stakeholders, in a process of evaluation of possible problems and constrains of the place. In a further phase, they identified the possibilities that such place have and tried to develop strategies of intervention to convert it into a more liveable and lively area.

URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP II

During these years of collaboration, the partners collected many historical images and personal memories about the environment, describing its evolution from its foundation in the ‘60s to nowadays, which are generally blocked out from the current degeneration. With this book, “Colora la tua città”, the partners wish to involve the children in a discovery journey through the years, to find a new form of identity in the landscape they live in. Young generations could in fact be the driving force for a positive and shared image of Zingonia, leading from invisibility to liveability.
