En el marc conceptual del disseny per a la innovació social i la democràcia, aquest article informa sobre la implementació de processos participatius en la regeneració d’espais públics en contextos semirurals i qüestiona el significat d’innovació transformadora, servitització i agonisme en contextos no urbans. Aquesta investigació advoca en favor d’estudiar una nova avaluació de com establim estratègies participatives de regeneració de l’espai públic bo i analitzant-ne l’aplicació en un context remot. Aquest darrer no s’ha vist afectat per cap de les iniciatives i moviments ascendents que han arrasat els centres urbans europeus en els últims quinze anys; tornar a l’espai urbà aquestes consideracions podria ser una oportunitat d’explorar noves perspectives, fins i tot en un context saturat, qüestionant així els models de pràctiques metropolitanes. Aquest article posa en dubte el paradigma de la innovació com a única tendència associada a un procés vàlid de millora i canvi, i aprofundeix en la urgència de contemplar els processos de codisseny a través del prisma de la descolonització, la relacionalitat i l’agonisme. En fer-ho, crea moments de reflexió en l’equip d’investigació i en la comunitat local. Les nostres reflexions i els nostres aprenentatges tenen el seu origen a Human Cities/SMOTIES, Creative Works with Small and Remote Places, un projecte de disseny participatiu que estudia mètodes de participació de la comunitat en el codisseny d’espais públics i transformacions en àrees rurals europees, concretament a Albugnano, una petita població del nord d’Itàlia. El cas pràctic estableix la comunitat d’Albugnano com a terreny experimental i aborda la manca de valoració del seu patrimoni tangible i intangible, la despoblació i la fragmentació social analitzant testimonis, alimentant la imaginació social i concebent i dissenyant col·lectivament potencials transformacions regeneradores.

Biografies de l'autor/a

Marco Andrea Finardi, Departament de Disseny, Politecnico di Milano

Marco Finardi és un dissenyador de serveis italià que col·labora amb el Polimi DESIS Lab. Té una llicenciatura en Disseny de Producte Industrial i un màster en Disseny de Sistemes Producte-Servei del Politecnico di Milano. Va desenvolupar la seva tesi de màster contribuint al projecte d’investigació SMOTIES, Creative works with small and remote places, part de la xarxa europea Human Cities, finançada per Creative Europe. El seu treball se centra a investigar com prenen forma els processos participatius en diferents àmbits, estudiant els plantejaments artístic i relacional de la participació comunitària i la cocreació de significats, i contribuint a replantejar de manera crítica pràctiques i eines de codisseny per fer-les més pluriversals i solidàries. A més de les seves col·laboracions acadèmiques, Finardi treballa com a dissenyador independent i té més de tres anys d’experiència en la integració de la cultura del disseny en projectes artístics, especialment en el sector performatiu cooperant amb l’associació Ecate Cultura.

Alexandra Coutsoucos, Departament de Disseny, Politecnico di Milano
