Educational project
MUST - Master in Temporary Uses is an advanced Politecnico di Milano
postgraduate course. It trains experts in temporary uses and provides the
appropriate skills to new professional figures to design, plan, implement,
and manage temporary uses in different situations. It is aimed at graduate
students and already working individuals, particularly those working in the
Public Administration, the third sector, the private sector, or freelancers. The
13-month training offer is structured around several questions, like How to
activate projects to reuse abandoned spaces temporarily? How to
accompany long and uncertain regeneration processes of large urban areas?
How can temporary uses start new imaginaries or test new uses? The
Master is organized into three parts, subdivided into six modules, each of
them facing the design of temporary uses in relation to: the reuse of
residual buildings and spaces; the large urban projects; the regeneration of
landscape and public space; post-disaster situations and urban
transformations due to big events. The main training objectives of the
Master's course are: to learn about the different declinations of temporary
uses; to learn how to critically evaluate situations and contexts in which it is
valuable and appropriate to proceed with temporary uses; to have the basic
skills to initiate temporary use projects. This will be done through various
activities (lectures and discussions, exercises and individual study).
Particular emphasis will be placed on visits and meetings with professionals,
organizations, and territorial realities that experiment with temporary uses;
and on the workshop and the internship that will be held and will allow to
have a design and implementation experience or in-depth study at
institutions, professional studios, private companies, associations and NGOs
in the forms to be defined.
