Dierre: Architecture starts from the bottom with the Bottom Up Festival!
Dierre sponsor of Bottom Up: urban transformation starts from the bottom.
Dierre is partner of the Foundation for Architecture of Turin as sponsor of the second edition of the Bottom Up! Festival: a great project of transformation of urban spaces that involves 8 design studios and as many places to be redeveloped in Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta.
Parking lots, pedestrianized streets, artistic installations, gardens, courtyards and urban vegetable gardens were selected through the SPACE Spazi di Partecipazione al Centro of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation Center. The architect assumes the role of the mediator, translating the needs and desires of the community into a shared project.
"We felt a strong affinity with the idea of triggering a process of transformation of the city starting from people, with projects designed for the community"
8 designers for 8 centers, of which 4 in Turin and 4 outside Turin (Biella, Ivrea, Groscavallo, Moncalieri).
