Designing Connected Places, which took place from July 13 to 29, was an International Summer School organized by Torino 2008 World Design Capital: it included over 200 students, more than 40 Italian and foreign designers and researchers from Italian design schools. All of these participants were reunited in the 7 communities of design practices – each dealing with themes concerning pressing current events and specific incidences in the territory of Piedmont. Today, Designing Connected Places is the story of this event. It is a publication born with the intent of examining these moments and selecting the exceptional aspects that have been brought about. It also evaluates sense and importance that it has had for its participants, the local communities involved and the network of knowledge which was weaved around the summer school.
