Descrizione dell'iniziativa
Three days, from May 27 to 29, 2026, to immerse in the exploration of Milan's urban structure, interpreted as a complex ecosystem where tensions, conflicts, and opportunities for transformation intertwine. The workshop, led by a team of professors from Politecnico di Milano together with visiting professors Claudio Magalhães from Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro and Willmar Ricardo Rugeles Joya, professor at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, offers Master's students in Design and Engineering a unique opportunity to experience how research and design can become a driver of social change. Through a practical and interdisciplinary approach, participants will map conflicts—both visible and hidden—related to Milan's urban food system, analyzing dissent dynamics and the systemic, structural, and social injustices that generate and contextualize them. Participants will have the opportunity to test a specially designed "urban conflict map," experimenting with data collection, analysis, and visualization strategies to make the latent frictions of local ecosystems readable. The activity is the second in a series of initiatives that since 2025 have involved several cities worldwide within the Erasmus+ KEY ACTION 171 program, involving collaboration between Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Politecnico di Milano, and Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Working in teams, students will produce an info-visualized map of conflicts related to Milan's Food Systems, collectively reflecting on how design can concretely act to enable more equitable and inclusive urban ecosystems. At the end of the journey, participants will not only have acquired technical tools for data management but will have experienced design as a political and transformative practice, capable of analyzing and redefining urban space starting from its deepest tensions. It will be possible to skip up to 4 hours of workshops (half a day) in order to prioritize participation in regular teaching and laboratory activities.
