Microrealities

September 3, 2004 | Research

Design Research, 2004.

A project about places and people.
The idea is that many small situations, when combined, can generate larger, more significant stories.
People’s actions can determine the identity of a space.
The project proposes visions in which, through the reordering of potential and energy, conditions are created which stimulate encounters, exchanges and sharing.
Creativity in processes leads to the most stimulating realities.

We developed four proposals in Milan and Shanghai:

1.THE GATES OF THE CITY
New symbols for new borders

2. SHOPPING CENTER+PUBLIC SPACES+…
New urban centers in between cities

3. THE VEGETABLE GARDEN CITY
Living the seasons

4. SHANGHAI: 100 NEW SUBWAY STATIONS
Creating identity and a sense of belonging at the city edge
