Occupazione capannone via Olgiati, è il 15esimo edificio pubblico occupato dai centri sociali - Notizie Milano - Cronaca Milano. De Corato: L’occupazione è l’ennesima dimostrazione che i centri sociali si fanno beffe del diritto di proprietà, tutelato dall’articolo 42 della Costituzione Solo pochi giorni fa è stato il turno del palazzo in via De Amicis 16, proprietario di una ex banca e abusivamente trasformato dagli antagonisti dei centri sociali nella “Casa dello Sciopero”.
Adesso, invece, all’indomani del 28esimo rinvio per lo sgombero del Leoncavallo, è toccato a un capannone di via Olgiati, in zona Barona: qui i centri sociali hanno piantato la nuova bandierina. “A distanza di appena quattro giorni dall’occupazione dello stabile di via De Amicis, i centri sociali hanno preso possesso di un’altra struttura che si trova in zona Barona. Questa strategia dell’occupazione va subito fermata – ha commentato il vicesindaco e Assessore alla Sicurezza Riccardo De Corato.

The design features various undulating structures, forming connective inner courtyards, that wind their way across a 17,500 square meter green space open to both students and neighborhood residents. According to Paola Nicolin, a professor at Bocconi and writer for Domus, the University is a “playground” for the imagination, using “non-hierarchic compositional elements” to establish a relationship between the campus’ organic forms and the human lives which inhabit it.

Milano Un invito a grattare il cielo stimola inevitabilmente la riflessione sul rapporto tra la città e la torre, in particolare sulla sostenibilità programmatica di un modello che, per quanto declinato nelle sue sfumature più green, resta un intruso del tessuto urbano.
La torre simboleggia il manifesto di una modernità decadente, un’architettura portatrice di valori ormai entrati in crisi. SANAA. SANAA . model photos: © Paolo Tonato . + archilovers Il progetto di un nuovo campus per l'Università Bocconi, che sorgerà nell'area dell' ex Centrale del Latte di Milano, rappresenta una significativa sfida urbana, poiché crea un eccellente contesto accademico e impiega, contemporaneamente, soluzioni costruttive particolarmente efficienti dal punto di vista energetico. Si è partiti dall'analisi delle aree urbane limitrofe, molto diversificate: a sud, il trafficato Viale Toscana; ad ovest, una serie di edifici residenziali di media grandezza che si estendono fino a Via Castelbarco; ad est, il Parco Ravizza e a nord, alcuni edifici residenziali e universitari che si collegano all' esistente Campus Bocconi.
Per affrontare in modo armonioso una tale eterogeneità, è stato definito un programma di corpi edilizi separati che sono stati collocati opportunamente all'interno del sito, con l'obiettivo di garantire al progetto la giusta scala urbana.
