STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS | INTERVISTE AGLI STAKEHOLDER

To create the stakeholders profile the researchers from the Architect Board started to interview them personally.

Meeting them was useful to collect housing needs concerning the people they're representing, understanding if they have projects on going and if there are possible sinergies among each other.

At the end of the interviews the researchers will write a profile for each stakeholder in order to disseminate the results of the interviews.

Per poter conoscere gli stakeholder, i ricercatori dell'Ordine degli Architetti hanno organizzato delle interviste per ogni partecipante.
Incontrarli è stato utile per raccogliere informazioni relative ai bisogni delle parti di popolazione che rappresentano, capire se hanno dei progetti di social housing in corso e valutare delle possibili sinergie tra i diversi soggetti intervistati.

Alla fine delle interviste i ricercatori produrranno un profilo per ogni singolo soggetto che potrà essere reso disponibile nella rete.

Meeting the stakeholders

The subjects dealing with Social Housing issues in Rimini were invited to participate to the OIKONET subnetwork meeting2 in Rimini to present themselves, give their contribution and evaluate their participation in the action.

The 27th of June, in the premises of the Strategic Plan of Rimini, all the invited stakeholders participated to the meeting and demonstrate their interest in the action.

Incontro con gli stakeholders

Gli attori attivi nel social housing a Rimini sono stati invitati a partecipare al secondo meeting del progetto OIKONET del subnetwork 3 per presentarsi, dare il proprio contributo e esprimere il proprio parere sull'eventualità di partecipare all'azione proposta da Heriscape e dall'Ordine.

PARTICIPATION AS AN INSTRUMENT TO REDUCE FRAGMENTATION | LA PARTECIPAZIONE COME STRUMENTO PER CONNETTERE

Proposal for a participation action in Rimini:

The Architect Board of Rimini and Heriscape think that the best way to start to define strategies to address the problems of people to access Social Housing is to start a research on housing in the city of Rimini.

The work group decide to develop this research by designing a participatory process, helpful and fundamental to collect needs and to link all the actors working on Social Housing.

Proposta per un attivita' di partecipazione a Rimini

L'Ordine degli Architetti di Rimini e Heriscape ritengono che il modo migliorare per cercare di definire strategie utili ad indirizzare e risolvere i problemi di accesso all'housing sociale sia quello di iniziare una ricerca sull'housing a Rimini.

Perché possa essere efficace e legata al territorio, la ricerca dovrà essere sviluppato progettando un processo partecipativo, percorso considerato utile e fondamentale per raccogliere i bisogni e connettere i soggetti rappresentativi e che operano nell'housing sociale.

SOCIAL HOUSING IN RIMINI | L'HOUSING SOCIALE A RIMINI

Why talking about Social Housing in Rimini?

Heriscape, association of Bologna, and the Architect Board of Rimini, in the field of OIKONET project, propose to find a way to define needs and opportunities concerning Social Housing in a medium size city like Rimini.

Rimini is considered a good case study to reflect on some issues:

1. The financial and economic crisis and the change in the society causes a transformation of housing demand. The traditional instruments for Public Housing do not provide adequate responses to the new "atypical" housing demand. Is it possible to define the target?

2. Even if the social housing issue is characterized by the presence of many institutions, public and private, that operate at different levels addressing distinguished needs and targets, they often act without a deep coordination and cooperation necessary to identify demand, define roles and share a common policy to provide effective answers. How could it be possible to reduce this fragmentation?

Perché parlare di Housing sociale a Rimini?

Heriscape, associazione di Bologna e l'Ordine degli Architetti di Rimini, nell'ambito del progetto europeo OIKONET, hanno proposto di cercare un modo per definire i bisogni e le opportunità relative all'housing sociale in una città di medie dimensioni come Rimini.

Rimini rappresenta un ottimo caso studio per riflettere su alcuni aspetti:

1. La crisi economica e finanziaria e i cambiamenti sociali hanno generato una trasformazione della domanda abitativa. Gli strumenti tradizionali pubblici non sono in grado di fornire una risposta adeguata alla nuova "atipica" domanda. E' possible definire e mappare i nuovi bisogni?

2. Anche se sono numerosissimi gli enti, pubblici e privati, ad operare nel settore dell'housing sociale a livelli diversi rispondendo a bisogni diversificati, è evidente che spesso essi operino senza coordinamento e senza avere instaurato precise strategie di cooperazione, fondamentali per poter identificare il bisogno, definire i ruoli e condividere una comune politica abitativa per dare risposte efficaci ai nuovi bisogni. E' possibile ridurre questa frammentazione?

INTRODUCTION / INTRODUCCIÓN

This pedagogic experience involving architecture students and teachers from the School of Architecture La Salle, and members of the co-housing association SostreCívic, took place during the seminar “Civic Housing” carried out from October 2013 to January 2014. An on-going project promoted by SostreCívic to refurbish an existing building block in El Born neighborhood in Barcelona provided an opportunity to bring together dwellers and architects in a participatory process aimed at defining the characteristics of the future dwellings.

Esta experiencia pedagógica, en la que participaron estudiantes de arquitectura y profesores de la Escuela de Arquitectura La Salle junto con miembros de la Asociación de Vivienda SostreCívic, tuvo lugar durante el seminario "Civic Housing" de octubre de 2013 a enero de 2014. Un proyecto de renovación de un bloque de viviendas en el barrio de El Born en Barcelona, promovido por SostreCívic, brindó la oportunidad para reunir a los habitantes y arquitectos en un proceso participativo dirigido a definir las principales características de las futuras viviendas.

CREATING A DESIGN BRIEF / DEFINIR EL PROGRAMA DE NECESIDADES

As the final output of the participatory process, students produced a brief to guide the design of the future dwelling in the building to be refurbished. The objective of this task was to describe an architectural program and to produce design guidelines based on the information obtained from the dwellers. These design guidelines were the result of processing the information received from the dwellers that were summarized under a theme.

Some of the themes provided by students using the previous template were:

• Natural light: “Natural light, large windows and beautiful views were often mentioned”
• Community: “Almost all of the participants mentioned that they wanted share their life with the community, not only rooms but also activities”
• Green housing: “Many dwellers would like to have green spaces in their houses. Some of them suggested to have a place to plant fruits and vegetables” 
• Children development: “Families with children stressed that it would be important for them to have a special place for their children to play outside their apartments. This place would have different functions, for example: a place to draw and paint, to play with other kids and to do outdoor activities.”
• Productive space: “Many dwellers mentioned that they would like to have in their apartment a place of their own, to work or study, do their hobbies, to relax and listen to some music, to read”.
• Open kitchen: “Many people wanted to have a room to share with friends and family to do some basic activities like cooking, eating or just sitting together”

- 

Como resultado final del proceso participativo, los estudiantes produjeron un documento que pueda servir de guía en el diseño de la futura vivienda. 

El objetivo de esta tarea es describir un programa arquitectónico y unas directrices de diseño basadas en la información obtenida de los habitantes. Algunos de los temas proporcionados en esta guía de diseño han sido: 

• Luz Natural: "Natural luz, grandes ventanas y vistas eran a menudo mencionadas" 
• Comunidad: "casi todos los participantes mencionaron que querían compartir su vida con la comunidad, no sólo las habitaciones pero también actividades" 
• Vivienda verde: "muchos habitantes de gustaría tener espacios verdes en sus casas. Algunos de ellos sugirió tener un lugar para sembrar frutas y verduras"
• Desarrollo de los niños: "las familias con niños, insistió en que sería importante para ellos tener un lugar especial para sus hijos a jugar fuera de sus viviendas. Este lugar tendría funciones diferentes, por ejemplo: un lugar para dibujar y pintar, jugar con otros niños y hacer actividades al aire libre. 
• Espacio productivo: "muchos habitantes mencionaron que les gustaría tener en su apartamento un lugar propio, para trabajar o estudiar, hacer sus hobbies, para relajarse y escuchar música, leer". 
• Cocina abierta: "mucha gente quería tener una habitación para compartir con amigos y familiares para hacer algunas actividades básicas como cocinar, comer o simplemente sentados juntos"
