Abstract

Theglobalcrisisthatwearegoingthroughandwhichmaysoondegen- erate positions several questions about what the urban form will be after the end of the Pandemic, what the new social and human relations will be and, more generally, what life in the cities will be like. This essay will try to explore a research teaching project that involves 30 international students – with different design backgrounds (product, interior, communication and product service system design) – from the Master’s Degree elective course, Temporary Urban Solutions (TUS) in the School of Design at Politecnico di Milano, to project possible cultural resiliency solu- tions enhancing the semi-public spaces of the city. This experimentation between research and didactics, starting from cultural and social investigation, translates into analogical visions and digital practices emphasizing artistic disciplines to give a post-pandemic urban and collective redemption. The aim of this article is to present different points of view, with a design purpose, and in order to create a collective legacy, in terms of spaces and activities, for the future. The academic research and educational exploration, in the field of Design, highlights this forced urban silence even when the lifecycle of the city will become frenetic again, with a new normality.
