POLIMIforICOM

The Politecnico di Milano, Athenaeum dedicated to the education of architects and designers who operate in the field of the built environment, participates in the 24th General conference of ICOM, MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPES, by promoting the initiative POLIMIforICOM, thus contributing to the ongoing debate concerning the enhancement of the cultural heritage, the museum, its architecture, exhibition settings and interior spaces, as well as the relationship among museum practices, community museums, ecomuseums, local development and cultural landscapes.

POLIMIforICOM includes two conferences.

The conference THE ITALIAN MUSEUM BETWEEN TRADITION AND INNOVATION aims at reflecting on the renewed social role of the museum, and on the evolution of the cultural perspective ensuing from the reconsideration of aspects of material culture in the preservation issues, and from the commitment to the transformation of museums, their organization and architecture in contemporaneity.

The strategic role of this topic within the tasks of Politecnico di Milano is illustrated by two exhibitions: PROGETTARE MUSEI/DESIGNING MUSEUMS, which explores the design activities in the museum field, ranging from architecture to museography, from display setting to museotechnics, and to the relationship between museum and territory, and FREDI DRUGMAN: IL PROGETTO AL MUSEO dedicated to the figure of Fredi Drugman, a professor and designer who, since the ’70, has tirelessly promoted the museum as a place for culture and science, for social and political debate, for encounters and civic life.

The conference MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL LANDSCAPES. The ecomuseums and community museums perspectives intends to present critical reflections, projects and best practices related to the enhancement of natural and cultural landscape and heritage, serving as lever for the active participation of local communities, raising awareness, shaping and promoting the sustainable development of the territories.
By providing a significant opportunity for an international and interdisciplinary debate, the conference is meant to foster new considerations on the role of community engagement and the promotion of cultural heritage as strategical levers for local development. These questions draw on the social tasks of the project related to the request of regeneration and enhancement for the environmental quality and use of territorial, urban and built systems. Ecomuseums and community museums operate in this framework, activating participative processes and facilitating the recognition, management and promotion of cultural landscapes with the aim to foster a sustainable social, environmental and economic development, harmoniously evolving along with the values and needs of the community.
The presentations at the conference and its poster session demonstrate the relevance of such issue with a variety of experiences from all over the world.
