\"201607Habitandando2\"<\/a>5,000 kilometres. Three architecture students from Colombia, a list of places, people from Italy and Malta, <\/strong>landscapes and experiences to confront themselves with, preferring the less renowned sites. “These were the ingredients of a tour inspired by the Grand Tour<\/em> which led the new graduates to Italy, to learn onsite, touch with their hands, and make a direct experience,” explained the Italian architects and project coordinators, Lole Parisi and Mario Tancredi. They also revealed the origin of the name, Habitandando (Learning Along the Way), with a journey as the method and the territory as classroom<\/em>, that took place from 29 June to 16 July: <\/em>“Abitare<\/em><\/strong>, which means possessing in a sense, and andare<\/em><\/strong>, that represents the short-lived moments in wandering through the territory to acquire, in order to comprehend, and travelling as a learning procedure.” The trip, created by Dialogue in Architecture together with the travelling workshop of Bogot\u00e0\u2019s La Salle University, with which there has been an ongoing cooperation, had an academic but also experiential feature. The stages of the route also reached Catania<\/strong>, where a group of architects and engineers was working on a huge project \u2013 guided by Paolo Mungiovino \u2013 for the recovery of an old historical building: the former Crociferi Convent, in the heart of the old city centre which will act as an Egyptian Museum, thanks to an agreement with the museum of Turin. \"201607Habitandando3\"<\/a>In Chiaramonte Gulfi (Ragusa), <\/strong>after a warm welcome in the presence of the Vice Mayor and some Municipal Councilors, they were introduced to the experience of the Fo.Co Cooperative at the core of the current challenges of Sicily, and to even more: the arrival of the migrants and refugees. \u00abThere we learned how to reconcile love for one\u2019s own land, with the challenges of integration carried out in a widespread and attentive manner. It was a real lesson on dialogue,\u00bb Mario and Lole recounted. In Calabria, the guide was Maria Elena Lo Schiavo, Vice Mayor of Marina di Gioiosa Ionica<\/strong>: \u00abWith her simplicity she showed us the well-known determination of these people who say \u201cno\u201d to the Mafia, and \u201cyes\u201d to personal commitment, with positive outlooks. Anna Cundari, architect of Cosenza, lead us instead deep into the heart of the National Pollino Park amid villages at risk of abandonment, allowing us to meet people who, for love of their land, say their own \u201cyes\u201d with force and generosity, restoring and rebuilding often with their own hands, houses and shrines, and with these, also a bit of the spirit of this land.\u00bb In Pescara<\/strong>, the students and teachers of the Annunzio University, inspired by the force of the social impulse of the Bogot\u00e0 University, undertook a difficult path in one of the huge, downgraded districts of the city on the Adriatic Sea, inhabited by Gypsy ethnic groups and immigrants, involving also the schools and associations. \u00abIn the list of encounters during this 15-day journey \u2013 the organizers conclude \u2013 there was much more but in short, we feel that we had tasted \u201cbeauty\u201d which, apart from the aesthetic values, highlighted the relationships between people and the territories. \u00a0It was thus because of this that the beauty of landscapes, villages and cities were \u201clit up\u201d also by the relationships, dialogue, and upholding of good practices which still so many people\u00a0 are able to set into motion, without clamour.\u00bb Maria Chiara De Lorenzo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
