- The cooperation opportunities between ITAD and Shanghai.
Architect Benedetta Gargiulo Morelli, former Director of Internationalization of the Order of Architects of Rome P. P. C. and of ITAD and Founder of NOS Design, will present some of NOS Design’s latest works, including urban redevelopment projects of Piazza Italia and Piazza Ungheria (Torvaianica), and educational facilities projects such as The Womb Kindergarten, SnoWhite School and St. George’s British International School.
Being both an idea and a practical approach to improving a neighbourhood, city or region, placemaking invites to collectively reimagine and reinvent the public spaces as the heart of every community. By strengthening the connection between the people and the places they share and live within, the urban design refers to a collaborative process through which we can design public spaces with the aim of maximizing the shared value.
When you focus on the place and the people who use it, you do everything differently. Consciously. For this reason, placemaking should always be:
- Community-driven
- Adaptable
- Inclusive
- Context-specific
- Dynamic
- Trans-disciplinary
- Flexible
- Sociable
The cutting edge of urban and social design no longer has to be where we design spaces aiming to satisfy the public’s desires, but it must be where we become able to incorporate green thinking and sustainability into this spaces.
