Izmo has organized an International Summer School in Torino from
September 5th to 14th 2011 which has the public space as its theme.
The lectures will be taught by professors of the Politecnico di Torino,
University of Eastern Piedmont and Saint John International University,
as well as Izmo's members, and will focus on the topics directly and
indirectly related to public space. Its aim is to provide insights in a
broad and multidisciplinary manner. After the lectures and the
design studio, participants will be given the opportunity to work
directly in the public space. Each student will be given a budget to
carry out the installation. During the workshop phases —design and
realization— participants will be constantly mentored by Izmo.
Finally, the training will be enriched by a series of meetings with
experts and professionals: informal moments during which students will
have the opportunity to interact and engage with those working in the
public space, such as Izmo. The course is aimed at students,
graduates, professionals and anyone interested in the issue of public
space and urban regeneration. Participants of the Summer School will be
awarded 3 credits, recognized by the Politecnico di Torino, transferable
to any other university (with ECTS in Europe). In addition, Izmo will provide the logistical references for issues regarding housing, transportation and tourism.Visit the site for more information
