(Adnkronos) - Il progetto è stato caratterizzato da “un approccio esperienziale finalizzato a immergersi nella dimensione della patologia per poi trovare le risposte progettuali percettive più adatte in due diverse fasi: un progetto ‘soft’ che avesse una dimensione economica sostenibile e un progetto totale, una sfida progettuale più avanzata e complessa volta ad indagare le stesse linee guida percettive”. Lo ha detto Germana De Michelis, architetto e bachelor of Arts Design course leader senior Naba, Nuova accademia di Belle arti di Milano, alla presentazione del progetto ‘Su misura’, ideato da Sandoz, in collaborazione con Aism - Associazione italiana sclerosi multipla e Naba - Nuova accademia di belle arti, per migliorare, attraverso nuove linee guida percettive, l’accessibilità degli ambienti domestici e il benessere delle persone che vivono con sclerosi multipla.

00:00I work as an architect, the focus of my design research is sensitive and perceptive architecture,
00:17so I tend to treat all aspects of space related to perception.
00:23So, in this proposal, we immediately saw the possibility to formulate guidelines,
00:30but not related to the geometry of space, of which there are plenty of manuals,
00:34but related to the perception of space.
00:37So, we immediately had this intuition and we worked with patients affected by sclerosis,
00:46who helped us to test on our body, with our, I say mine,
00:52and the students of the laboratories who participated in this fascinating project,
00:58simulating the first symptoms of the pathology.
01:02So, it was a path that immediately had an experiential approach,
01:05aimed at falling into this dimension of pathology,
01:11in order to find the most suitable perceptive design responses, in two different steps.
01:17One, economically sustainable,
01:20because when you discover that you are affected by multiple sclerosis or other pathologies,
01:24you don't necessarily become rich.
01:27So, we made a first proposal of a soft project,
01:30which had a sustainable economic dimension,
01:33in order to then fall into a total project,
01:36but I also needed it academically.
01:39Finally, to investigate the same perceptive guidelines,
01:42also with a more advanced and complex design challenge,
01:46but I also needed a teacher to bring our students towards a complexity,
01:51which we then see exposed in the stand in Piazza 25 Aprile,
01:57both the two projects, both the soft and the total.
02:01I started this project six months before I met the students.
02:05The thesis laboratory started six months later,
02:08I didn't know who would have chosen this thesis laboratory,
02:11and to propose to 21-22 year old students
02:16to work on the subject of a pathology,
02:19of a complex situation, of a pain,
02:22of a disease for them, then we discovered that it was not a disease,
02:25but to bring them into a design environment
02:29that is under this hat is not trivial,
02:32because they are in an age in which they feel, rightly,
02:35I would add, super heroes, where they have fragilities of another nature,
02:40and where it scares them to come into contact with these life stories,
02:47which are common, but until they get close, they scare you.
02:51The first approach is to avoid them.
02:54I was lucky, I call them my super heroes,
02:58who then developed their superpowers,
03:01because now they talk about any form of pathology,
03:05because, pay attention, we started,
03:07clearly, as is done before a project,
03:10to do a great research,
03:12and within this research there was nothing designed for sclerosis,
03:16except for hospital care,
03:18that is, the hospitalization of our homes or our spaces,
03:21which was our goal,
03:23instead, to get out of this dimension of hospitalization of spaces.
03:27First of all, because even the patients,
03:29even if we don't remind them every minute that they are patients,
03:33it's okay, and moreover, they often don't live alone,
03:35so there are whole families,
03:37everyone has the right to a domestic dignity,
03:41and not only, we will add,
03:43now we focus on the domestic.
03:45So the guys found case studies related to other pathologies,
03:50to blindness, to addictions,
03:53to depression, to Alzheimer's,
03:56to a thousand other different situations,
03:59so case studies of spaces designed,
04:01with the perceptive aspect,
04:03investigated in other situations.
04:06This is to say that they have really expanded their familiarity
04:10with different frailties and difficulties.
04:14So today, these 17 guys really have crazy skills.
