Project Description | Serena Confalonieri presents “Quadra” as part of the initiative, promoted by the Municipality of Milan, “Piazze Aperte”: a graphic art project for the enhancement and characterization of tactical urbanism interventions in specific city areas. |
Materials Used | We used water based paintings for the parking lot, in order to get an healthy environment, and also to allow all the volunteers to work safely. |
Sustainability | The aim of this initiative is to create a recreational space open to everyone, that could enhance the existing areas and encourage the neighbors to a new fruition. |
Issues Faced | The new layout of this area develops from a central path - based on 4 x4 m The design process had to consider a number of conditions and requests, such as the simplicity of the graphic, that allows to be easily painted by the kids, a limited number of colors available and a limited freedom in space organization. |
Additional Comments | It was very stimulating to have the opportunity to work on a project on such a large scale, which fits into a strongly characterized urban and social fabric. We designed this graphic intervention considering all of the functional and aesthetic needs, but also, and above all, the needs and the external stimuli that children require in order to play and interact. With Quadra we wanted to work side by side with the students and their parents, not only during the design phase, but also during the realization, in order to involve them directly and give them a sense of direct belonging to this new colorful urban space. |
