Located in Ferrara <\/strong>at Laboratorio Aperto<\/strong>, formerly Teatro Verdi, FerrAria <\/strong>represents the physical interface of AirBreak<\/a><\/em>, the European project that has the ambitious goal of improving air quality<\/a><\/em> in certain areas of the Emilian city – between 2012 and 2016 the fifth worst area in Italy in terms of cancer mortality.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Laboratorio di Simulazione Urbana Fausto Curti Dastu<\/strong>, Politecnico di Milano, the hub is open to citizens to allow them to learn more about the issue of air quality through physical and digital contents (phygital) <\/strong>and with the participation in meetings and co-planning activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the intention of modifying the hub according to the needs of the project and the proposals of the citizens, FerrAria <\/strong>is designed with flexible, reconfigurable and repositionable elements. The exhibition set-up<\/strong> is designed using mainly biological or easily recyclable materials. Its elements <\/strong>are built in such a way that they can be disassembled and reused<\/strong>. In fact, there are no glues or other adhesive materials, in order to preserve the quality and integrity of the individual parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of circularity, a digital database of materials<\/strong> has been created, which includes the 3d models of the individual components that can be downloaded. This will invite citizens to imagine new futures, or life cycles, with the materials used for FerrAria<\/strong>. Their participation in the activation of new dynamics of circular and conscious reuse<\/strong> on the urban scale will be articulated in a selection of proposals through an online form, and subsequently participatory design and construction workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
