As Director/Coordinator of 0-n Booklet (Master Thesis Publication)

“0-n” is a collection of master thesis which I oversaw as supervisor at Politecnico di Milano.

These books are a platform of heterogeneity, which end their common eld in the theory of weakness, as imperfect and manifold way of knowledge. The aim is to experience an alternative method for contemporary spaces, able to regenerate the stabilized ideas of design. They are more experimental and vital texts/tests than verification procedures: this attitude brings them away from a strictly educational approach. They can be read according to two levels of meaning: in their specific contexts and as open platforms for contemporary researches. Almost all of them are focused on processual values and on project transdisciplinary, in order to promote a cognitive space before a real one. I provided the students with fews thematic lines (a sense of shortcircuit, trial, process of meaning), which were underlining an interpretation of knowledge in a horizontal sense, as Gilles Deleuze had defined.

These topics have been independently developed by the candidates, so that they can be considered as authors of a new idea. I instructed this learning and researching method, because I believe that the secret of an effective education is to coinvince each student to be able to build his own vision of the world, without stereotyped positions.

I am finalizing the object of education in the freedom of intelligence, and not in the rules of disciplines, by broading the students’ needs and points of view.
