DESCRIPTION OF INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES

and subsequently other architects, including O. Cascio and E. Sgrelli), relating them to
archival sources, to understand the living experience and social profiles
of residents in the context of Olivetti housing policies. The project aims to investigate
the relationship between factory and community: historically (multiple
project proposals, urban plans and INA Casa programmes);
from a socio-cultural perspective, in relation to the transformations of society in
half a century of upheaval and in the current context; and in terms of urban planning, in relation
to the planning, implementation and transformation of a significant part of
the city of Ivrea and to an analysis of the public spaces and facilities provided.
