Magazines from the world The project by MIT, Liminal and Fondazione Ferrovie dello Stato that rethinks the Italian territories outside the big cities together with students with the aim of understanding how to redesign the geographies of tomorrow, told by Fast Company The project by MIT, Liminal and Fondazione Ferrovie dello Stato that rethinks the Italian territories outside the big cities together with students with the aim of understanding how to redesign the geographies of tomorrow, told by Fast Company “In a tiny hilltop Italian village two hours from Rome but a world away, a team of design students recently moved into an empty building and began plotting out the future” starts to narrate the magazine Fast Company. In fact, the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) took its students this summer to a small town in Abruzzo for the pilot project of Liminal, a non-profit initiative launched to rethink marginal territories from a design point of view. “Founded by graduates from Harvard and MIT, Liminal is now based in Italy and is focused on the small, sometimes ancient towns and villages that have been drained of human and financial resources by urbanization and industrialization. […] Working directly with a range of stakeholders, from regional government representatives to the people tilling the fields, the students examined regional issues through the lenses of urban planning and architecture. They encountered challenges inextricably linked with the region’s territory—from abandoned buildings to fragmented farms to underdeveloped tourist infrastructure” - full article.
