MDfD4 – SELF-CONSTRUCTION MODULE
At the beginning of June our MDFD4 students explored the rammed earth technique with prof. Alessio Battistella and arch. Valerio Marazzi for the Technology and Self-Construction module – held at the Off Campus Cascina Nosedo.
This ancient building technique consists in using natural materials such as wood, cane, mud and clay. Students also had the chance to build an earthquake-proof framework with their hands following Quincha, a traditional construction system from Central and South America.
MDfD4 – DESIGN STUDIOS
That’s a wrap for MDFD4’s design studios!
Over the course of three months our MDFD4 class had the chance to explore the three pillars of architecture, urban planning and heritage in the Global South and in countries with developing economies.
With the guidance of our Faculty the students acquired the necessary design strategies for sustainable urban planning, local resource management, housing and community services, and for the protection of existing heritage.
Each Design Studio included a theoretical introduction, followed by group works on case studies.
MDfD4 – WELCOME TO MILAN!
Back in February we were pleased to welcome to Milan the students of the IV edition of Master “Design for Development” of Politecnico di Milano for the first part of Module B – Tools.
The lessons were hosted by Politecnico’s Off Campus Cascina Nosedo.
We wish our students the best of luck!
