International Seminar - Open Ground: Insights into the design and practice of de-paving
Increasingly, the sealed surfaces of our cities are being transformed, either through spontaneous processes of degradation and neglect, or through soil desealing interventions aimed at regenerating the ecological functions of the soil. The international seminar explores contemporary de-paving practices from an international and multidisciplinary perspective, drawing on both design cases and technical experiences.
The seminar is part of the IDEA League Summer School “Open Ground: De-Paving Urban Surfaces”, taking place from 22 to 26 July in Milan at the Off-Campus Cascina Nosedo, organized by Andrea Bortolotti and Chiara Geroldi (DAStU), Cecilia Furlan (TUDelft) with Federico Broggini (Latitude Platform), Sara Anna Sapone (Politecnico di Milano), Francesca Rizzetto (TUDelft) in collaboration with Centro Forestazione Urbana–Italia Nostra, NATI00NS and NBCF–Spoke Urban Biodiversity.
