Call for ideas "Di nuovo in centro", 1st Place
I participated with some friends of mine in the call for ideas “Back in the Centre [Di nuovo in centro]”, through that the municipality of Bologna requested projects that would help the redevelopment of the city’s historical centre. Our idea, that won the first prize in its class, offers a computer and smartphone application that allows a more continuous and conscious use of urban space without occupy new land. It set up a network with the wide range of possibilities already offered by the municipality and by individuals.
