Urban Grafting
The aim of the studio was to research "on the field" the relationships between the physical metamorphosis of
an existing urban landscape and the shift in its environmental qualities and social relevance.
The area of the project was Via Rovello 14 in Milan, which is in the center of the city, between Cairoli and
Cordusio. Nowadays the lot is empty, but works are underway to renovate the area for future construction
works. The design program has included a student hostel, services and a multipurpose space for events and
expositions. The design task has covered a quite demanding range of scales and themes, from the urban
design level and the design of open spaces to the precise definition of an architectural artefact at rather
detailed scales through drawings and models.
