TRANS-forming industrial legacy. Spatial and economic models of re-USE

Interdisciplinary and international summer school

10/24.7.2019

Toolbox Coworking, Turin

The summer school aims to share, in an international comparative framework, innovative approaches and tools for the synergistic design of financial instruments, environmental recovery procedures and urban master planning operating in complex market conditions on large-scale obsolete industrial sites that embody controversial legacies.

Participants will focus on the analysis of case studies of urban industrial legacy and urban production transformation. They will be asked to develop a toolkit (in terms of architecture, urban planning, landscape design, management, environmental and economic sustainability) and present it publicly at the end of the summer school.

Coping with Crisis in Developmental Urbanization: The Case of Songdo City, South Korea

Sala della Caccia, Castello del Valentino

Abstract

This lecture aims to examine the underlying political economy of mega-project promotion in times of post-crisis recovery, looking at the case study of Songdo International City in Incheon, South Korea. This mega-scale urban development project, built on a 5,345-hectare reclaimed land, is widely known as the first foreign-led urban development project in South Korea. However, Songdo needs to be understood as space where various domestic and foreign actors have interplayed to pursue their material goals at different stages of development. In particular, two economic crises, which affected Korea in 1997 and 2008, were acting as significant drivers of development, producing shifting relations between different actors. By investigating the consequences of two crises upon Songdo, this chapter will show (1) how the variegated nature of urbanisation and associated stakeholders have engaged in an urban mega-project, (2) how their dynamics have shifted, and how speculative interests of different scales have become dominant in the development process of Songdo International City.

10may11:0012:30“Architectures of Millennial Development” | Andrea Pollio

Event Details

FULL è lieto di invitarvi a partecipare all’Open Seminar “Architectures of Millennial Development” tenuto da Andrea Pollio.

L’incontro è aperto a tutti e si svolgerà venerdì 10 maggio h. 11.00-12.30 presso la sede di FULL.

Reso popolare dall’economista indiano C.K. Prahalad, uno dei paradigmi più influenti dello Sviluppo del nuovo millennio è il modello della ‘base della piramide’, riassunto dall’eloquente motto “eradicating poverty through profits”. Secondo questa teoria economica, la povertà può essere sconfitta attraverso la creazione di prodotti destinati alla cosiddetta ‘base della piramide’, lo strato più marginale e svantaggiato della popolazione globale. In altre parole, la ricerca di una soluzione di mercato alla marginalità si traduce nella possibilità di trasformare i più poveri in nuovi imprenditori e nuovi consumatori di merci e servizi fino ad ora esclusi dai circuiti del capitalismo globale. Questo seminario si interroga sul rapporto tra questo nuovo modello di sviluppo economico e ambiente costruito a Cape Town, la capitale legislativa e seconda città del Sudafrica. Qui, come in altre città del Sud del mondo, tali teorie si fanno esperimenti materiali, attraverso una serie di progetti che coinvolgono imprenditori informali, aziende private, promotori immobiliari, architetti, economisti, ONG, capitali filantropici e agenzie statali. Il caso studio di questo seminario e’ proprio uno di questi esperimenti: un complesso edilizio del quale traccio la produzione architettonica, organizzativa e pedagogica, in uno dei quartieri più poveri di Cape Town. La mia tesi è che questa architettura, un cementificio dismesso e trasformato in un hub imprenditoriale, incarni la ricerca di nuove frontiere del capitale alla ‘base della piramide’, ma che, a uno sguardo più’ attento, essa manifesti un più ampio spettro di sentimenti economici e politici, compresa la ricerca di giustizia spaziale tra le eredità urbane dell’apartheid e del colonialismo.

13mar17:3019:30“Hybrid Factory/Hybrid City. Economic and spatial integration of industry in the city” | Nina Rappaport

Event Details

The Future Urban Legacy Lab is pleased to invite you to attend the introductory lecture of the course Hybrid Factory/Hybrid City. Economic and spatial integration of industry in the city, held by Nina Rappaport.

The lecture will be held on the 13th march at 17.30 in Sala della Caccia, Castello del Valentino.

The opening lecture will be public and open to the entire Politecnico community.

For all the interested PhD students the lecture will be the first lesson of the Hybrid Factory excellence course. Students with different backgrounds (architecture, urbanism, planning, economics, engineering, sustainability) are warmly welcomed to participate in order to trigger a multi-disciplinary discussion.

The course is part of the ongoing international project “Vertical Urban Factory”:

With Vertical Urban Factory, a project by Nina Rappaport that includes a book, exhibition, films, and consulting to encourage the return of manufacturing to cities, the recognition of a new form has made policy makers, manufacturers, and designers aware of the importance of maintaining space for making things. With the continuous need for blue collar low skilled jobs and the change in manufacturing from large to small, polluting to clean, and clustered to dispersed there is a potential to encourage mixed-use spaces at the scale of the district to that of the building and thus make things everywhere.
