Extraction

A Seminar by PhD Researchers

7/03/2025, h. 14:30
Politecnico di Milano, Campus Leonardo, Edificio 11, Aula III A
Piattaforma Webex

The seminar focuses on the topic of extraction; it reflects on the relationship between mines, quarries, flows, and uses of the materials, both from an architectural and landscape perspective. Four PhD researchers will present their work, respectively deploying histories and uses of specific stones – Travertine and Pentelic marble – quarries seen as architecture and new extraction sites of critical raw materials. The seminar is organized in the context of the Landscape Design Studio 2 of the MSc in Landscape Architecture – LLH, this year addressing the topic of “Stones” and focusing both on quarries and uses of the material in public spaces, architecture, and landscapes.
