I project. Methodologies, strategies and results

Abstract

Every year since 2010 - between the end of August and the beginning of September - OC OPEN CITY International Summer School means a fantastic collective experience. Students (the main characters), professors, lecturers and tutors are involved in a great adventure where architecture and design build a common ground. Landscape 4.0 - the title of OC 9th edition - presents the results of the edition of the 2018. Landscape 4.0 is the landscape of sharing: sharing people, sharing ideas, sharing cultures, sharing experiences. "I Project" is a proposal of Landscape 4.0 for an abandoned military area in Piacenza (Caserma Pontieri). Landscape architecture has been considered as a plot of relations to be experimented as material and immaterial connections: through new physical links between heterogeneous urban objects and shared, multifunctional, flexible, real and virtual spaces that interpreted the need of the contemporary society. The experiences of these places - the interactions between subjects and objects - had to be strengthened or “augmented” in a new life and narration.
