Discovering the concept of inhabiting the space between furniture and light<\/strong>: what does the future hold for living our cities in a new way?
This is the challenge faced by the students of the Interior Design Laboratory of the Iuav University of Venice, protagonists of the main exhibition of the Microfestival dell\u2019abitare<\/a><\/strong> held in Padua from 24 May to 3 June 2023.
The event has left a significant mark on the design<\/strong> and architecture<\/strong> scene. The main exhibition, titled \u00ab\u00a0GuerillaLAB – Matsuri\u00a0\u00bb, hosted at the Acquario space of the Altinate\/San Gaetano Cultural Center, offered a compelling exploration of the potential of interiors<\/strong> as a tool for urban regeneration. The Microfestival wasn\u2019t limited to just one place: it permeated the city, spreading its creative and inspiring energy<\/strong> in different environments.
Antonio Bressa, councilor for private construction, spoke about it in a recent interview<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[\u2026] we will go on site to see those areas where urban regeneration operations are underway. Certain places are reinterpreted with new functions thanks to simple operations of redefition of the interiors. In a city on which we decided not to build anymore, we have to face the theme of how to use the existing spaces and buildings changing gradually their functions on the base of the new needs. And all this thanks to urban regeneration which is the central theme of the Microfestival\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In fact, experiences and practices of remodeling spaces were presented, opening up new perspectives on the future of living in our cities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The rise of a collective project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Microfestival dell\u2019abitare was born out of a special evening, the 23rd of June 2022, when Padua’s studios, laboratories and workshops opened their doors to the public, showing their original and creative works. The evening, called \u00ab\u00a0Acqua di San Giovanni<\/a>\u201d, was a great success and stimulated the curiosity of visitors, who were able to discover the wonders of the collaboration between architecture professionals, craftsmen and artists. A fascinating reflection arose from this experience: how interior design can contribute to urban regeneration and the quality of living. In the festival these stories were told and shared, inspiring new ways of living and coexisting in living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matsuri, the Japanese festival that teaches us to live better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition underlined the celebratory dimention of the interior spaces and living, an aspect that our modern culture often forgets.
Through the microfestival we wanted to awaken awareness of the importance of relationships<\/strong>, creating a space<\/strong> where people could meet, share and celebrate together. It was a post-pandemic invitation to rediscover the beauty of human connections and to enhance the art of living<\/strong> to rediscover the joy of sharing spaces<\/strong>, ideas and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The living contexts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There were twelve<\/strong> innovative and surprising scenarios that offered an avant-garde vision of the concept of living<\/strong>, outlining a variety of housing, working and social perspectives in a post-Covid context, in which sustainability<\/strong> is imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
