Public Space is Freespace
In Spring 2021, the students of the Master’s Program «Architecture & Structure» designed a public space for the «Molino Nuovo» neighbourhood in Lugano. They designed a building and a free space, with the two things closely related.

The urban space is largely defined beyond its margins. The space, however, lacked public use, centrality and an attractive design that would make it a focus of the social life and urban space of the neighbourhood.
