In pursuing its aims Studio Territorio Ticino avails of four activity types that are self-contained and complementary, allowing the area and its issues to be investigated from multiple angles.
Interventions in loco: worksites, often involving the participation of students; these alter the conditions of a place with works executed on a scale of 1:1 and underscore the importance of understanding an area via concrete action.
Design studios: teaching modules lasting six months and held at the Academy of Architecture of USI that explore a topic assigned via the specific designs developed by the many students involved.
Publications: publishing initiatives which may consist in timely articles in magazines and books aimed at engaging in and contributing to the debate on specific subjects of interest.
Single initiatives: additional, self-driven and commissioned activities characterised by their specific nature and limited duration; these constitute a flexible tool with which to explore lateral research areas and trigger new thinking.
