PIAZZA ILARIA ALPI-LATINA

A modern urban square part of the interventions of the Urban Innovative Action UPPER

In recent years, the committee, supported by the professional group “Young Architects Pontini”, has undertaken a participatory process that has actively involved both adults and children leading to the drafting of a design proposal for the redevelopment of the area, then donated to the City of Latina.Piazza Ilaria Alpi - UPPER LATINA

The design defines the organization of the space into different functional areas: a basketball court, a cavea for outdoor events, an area for dogs, a space for children , an area for outdoor sports, several green areas with lawns and trees…

The community led initiatives of the piazza are narrated by some protagonists in one of the UPPER stories realised by Tesserae during the Urban Innovative Action project.

PRINZESSINNENGARTEN – BERLIN

Starting from an urban gardening project, the experience of Prinzessinnengarten extended to a wide range of innovative practices, political stances and networking activities fostering a DIY integrated approach. Since 2020, the gardens occupy two distinct areas, both organized on principles of self-sufficiency, food-independence and social inclusivity: the original site located in Moritzplatz (Berlin-Kreuztberg) and the recent acquisition of San Jacobi cemetery (Berlin-Neukölln). The Prinzessinnengarten project promotes gardening as a practice of community building and social emancipation from urban neo-liberal dynamics, while also offering its visitors and members a wide range of cultural and educational activities aimed at sharing different forms of knowledge and skills and at raising consciousness on current ecological issues and social challenges.
