Open Lecture

This presentation to Politecnico Milano Scuola di Architettura Urbanistica Ingegneria delle Costruzioni Course 056098 – ARCHITECTURE OF INTERIORS DESIGN STUDIO on 26 March 2025 focuses on small scale architecture highlighting the role of performative structures in placemaking by cases of research in action. Focusing on recent examples of microarchitecture we explore how such a redefinition of the discipline contributes to the green transition and addresses notions of creative and green placemaking.
