1. HUB GIAMBELLINO: “A sustainable community
garden”
DESIGN BRIEF:
design a product-service system that allows the community garden in the
center of the Hub district of Milan Giambellino to self-sustain from the
economic point of view even after the end of the Punto e Linea project,
becoming a driving force for improvements in social cohesion and
intergenerational dialogue for the neighborhood and helping in reduction
environmental impact.
The center of the Giambellino Hub is a small house, situated in a public park
within the neighborhood.
Currently many initiatives and events are being carried out. One of the
activities is in fact linked to a community garden, created around the cottage,
which is taken care of once a week, by a group of people of different ages
and backgrounds (passersby are free to participate in the care of the
community garden).
