As main element of characterization and unification of the micro-sites along its coasts, the Massaciuccoli Lake is the central theme of the Summer School 2017.

2 THE CITY AND THE WATER The Summer School starts from the awareness of the value of the Massaciuccoli Lake (Massarosa, Lucca) and its territory. As main element of characterization and unification of the micro-sites along its coasts, the Massaciuccoli Lake is the central theme of the Summer School The aim is to redesign the natural, archaeological and anthropic contexts, neighboring with a still partially untouched natural environment. Through a systemic vision that takes into account the environmental, physical, historical, cultural and socio-economic aspects, students will develop four main themes: the marina and the new Lipu headquarters (currently housing a museum), the lake nature trails with the design of new birdwatching sights, the connection and redevelopment of the areas of the Roman Villa of Venulei and the Niquila stone quarries. The results, in addition to re-appropriation and safe- guarding of the natural environment, will be related to the generation of new economic, touristic and manufacturing opportunities linked to the landscape and to the surrounding territories. The final products of the Summer School will stimulate new possibilities for the inhabitants of territory and, above all, of the small town of Massaciuccoli, for the small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the territory as well as for the local institutions, in terms of contribution to improve the awareness of their own potential and wealth.

Particular attention is setted to the public space, where the shared collective values of the urbs had formed. That spaces show a deep formal and substantial crisis of identity, to which we are called to give answers going over the traditional models. The case study selected is the waterfront of Marina di Pietrasanta: a context with a high environmental value and a great economic potential, but actually mined by a strong social fragility. The workshop starts from the comprehension of the historical evolution of the territory. Thanks to the several international experiences of the teaching staff, the workshop aims to define a scenery of change according to different scales, from the territorial to the architectural one. The methodology that isapplied provides the experimentation of the most innovative tools and the collaboration between the international guests and the local subjects: university, administrations, professionals, associations, enterprises, artists, and artisans. The workshop includes two public meetings, important moments of exchange within participants, citizens, professionals, and local public administrations. The objective of the workshop is to think up hypothesis for the urban regeneration of the public spaces through architecture, design and arts as in a sort of renewed Bauhaus in order to support their re-appropriation from a physical, social and economic point of view.

4 The design themes designed for the Summer School 2014 concerned different areas of the territory belonging to the City of Pietrasanta. Starting from the territory the planned areas are places that need special attention in terms of environmental quality, open space, urban and social relations green. The chosen areas belong to the town Tonfano, Focette, Motrone, the coast and part of the Viale Apua, including Versiliana park. The requalification projects have started from considering the various local identities and from this point proposals arose of physical and economic recovery. The interventions were limited to open spaces, where only small built insertions and street furniture have allowed a careful requalification which follows the needs of the tourism inhabitants of local identity.

Special attention is setted to public spaces, where the shared collective values of the urbs had formed. Those spaces shows a deep formal and substantial crisis of identity: the focal point of this workshop was the regeneration of the area, breaking through the traditional models. The case study is an artisan area called Due Laghi : a context with a high environmental value and a great economic potential, but mined by strong fragilities. The workshop starts from the comprehension of the historical evolution of this area; with the help of an international teaching staff, it aims to define scenery of changes according to different scales, from the territorial to the architectural one. The methodology that is applied provides the experimentation of the most innovative tools and the collaboration between the international guests and the local subjects: university, administrations, professionals,associations, enterprises, and particularly artists and artisans. In the first week it is developed the regeneration project; in the second week, students are involved in a self-construction experience on the project area, in collaboration with the artists and artisans of the 2 Luoghi group. The workshop includes public meetings, important moments of exchange within participants, citizens, professionals and local public administrations. The objective of the workshop is to develop hypothesis for the urban regeneration of the spaces through architecture, arts and self-construction in order to support their re-appropriation from a physical, social and economic point of view.

6 The intervention: the area of Due Laghi is interesting for its complex and diversified nature, rich in elements of historical and environmental values; this area has been recently occupied by a group of artisans and artist so the first aim of the summer school is a new gate to promote the visibility and accessibility of this area, a symbolic and representative element, visible and recognizable from the road; the second team work on a pedestrian path along the lakeshore, an ideal line of contact between the artisan area and the lake, with integrated benches and stalls for open hair exhibition. The last theme is about new spaces for the art, facilities for art exhibitions, designing a removable structure for art works and objects, a structure that has to integrate with the naturalistic character of the area and its existing buildings, a stage but not only, also platform for music and cultural events made up of modular elements that could be used as seating or basis for sculpture too.

7 Scientific Committee Andre Dekker Observatorium Rotterdam (director) Alessandra Capanna DiAP Ewa Karwacka DESTeC Luca Lanini DESTeC Roberto Pierini DESTeC Alessandro Romanini CAV Organizing Committee Lucia Giorgetti DESTeC Stefania Landi DESTeC The Versilia Summer School involves students and young professionals working together on the Versilia area, from the mountains to the sea, for a ten-days full immersion teamwork. Special attention is paid to public spaces along the river Versilia where the shared collective values of the urbs had formed. The river Versilia is the place to settle: it provided access to marble, water for drinking, irrigating and stone cutting, but now it has disappeared from daily life, due to dikes, traffic, dangers of flooding and the large industrial plots. Nevertheless, the water is clean, it s color is a delight for the eye, it s natural setting is bewildering and the history of the valley is remarkable: it provided marble for the Renaissance art and architecture and was explored by Michelangelo. The workshop in Seravezza is about the paradoxes of 1) access to the river and safety, 2) recreation and nature protection, 3) bathing culture and industrial landscape. How can we create awareness of the river as a place for comfort and reconciliation? How could the river tie the very different landscapes of marble alps, agricultural hills, small towns, large industries and sprawl together? How can Fiume Versilia be loved again? How would artist and architect Michelangelo respond to our needs and knowlegde, capital and politics, tools and cars? For this we study the present situation of solutions and dilemmas, research interactions of geology, villages and river banks and design gardens, artworks, small architectures and infrastructure for good health, bathing, recreation and meeting, and we want to design Observatorium style: works of imagination and magic added to places with potential for wonder, highly accessible and inviting, symbolic for the present culture of the site and multifunctional, celebrating generosity and creating an awareness for man s cultivation of the wilderness.

8 Site Intervention: the areas of interest are four, divided in four different teams of work: the first area includes the adjacent part of the source of the river, the pool of water of Desiata, the marble Quarry of Cappella, the village of Fabiano and the Church of Cappella; the second one includes the central area of the territory of Seravezza and the area overlooking the village of Corvaia up to Pescarella. The third group intervention is setted from the Pescarella s bridge to the Red bridge over the Aurelia and includes a large portion of territory characterised by flat trend, directly in contact with the Versilia river, a territory strongly ruled by the presence of industrial and agricultural areas. The last area of interest is the final part of the Versilia river, from the bridge over Sipe street to the sea, on its right bank there is the natural reserve of Lago di Porta, on the left one the territory is marked by the Versilia Golf Club.
