REDESIGNING SMART VILLAGES
The goal of this studio is to redesign Zambana Vecchia as an iconic
“eco-village”. We will leverage cutting edge design and technology
to foster efficiency and sustainability while simultaneously promoting
deep connections between people and the environment.
This multidisciplinary project takes a holistic approach to green design,
integrating urban planning, sustainable architecture, renewable energy,
smart landscape, transportation, and the poetics of daily life to create a
vision of ecological sustainability.
Students will work in multidisciplinary team and and will create scenarios
to redesign Zambana.
The course is taught within Design without Boundaries MAS.967
In collaboration with Trentino Development Agency and
Provincia autonoma di Trento and the kind support of MIT ITALY.
