Materia abitata. Co-design Process Summary Document: Renovation of a Social Housing Building in Imperia.

This summary document illustrates the co-design process that guided the renovation of a social housing residence in Imperia, in the western Liguria region of Italy. The project, titled Materia abitata, is a practical application of the proprietary framework Designing Tomorrow, created to guide complex urban and social regeneration processes. The document reveals the 'behind the scenes' of the process, from innovative tools like the Scale of Meaning to the methodology used to analyze reality, measure relationships, and translate complexity into a clear and measurable intervention strategy. The initiative was developed as part of a national design challenge and demonstrates how a rigorous analysis can be transformed into effective care to generate ecosystemic well-being and value for the community. Drafted for informational purposes, this document is intended for a broad audience, including architects, urban planners, designers, and students, with the goal of making the design process accessible and promoting the belief that sharing is the first step to triggering positive change.

Abstract

This summary document illustrates the co-design process that guided the renovation of a social housing residence in Imperia, in the western Liguria region of Italy. The project, titled Materia abitata, is a practical application of the proprietary framework Designing Tomorrow, created to guide complex urban and social regeneration processes. The document reveals the 'behind the scenes' of the process, from innovative tools like the Scale of Meaning to the methodology used to analyze reality, measure relationships, and translate complexity into a clear and measurable intervention strategy. The initiative was developed as part of a national design challenge and demonstrates how a rigorous analysis can be transformed into effective care to generate ecosystemic well-being and value for the community. Drafted for informational purposes, this document is intended for a broad audience, including architects, urban planners, designers, and students, with the goal of making the design process accessible and promoting the belief that sharing is the first step to triggering positive change.
