26 August|1 September, Porto Conte Ricerche, Alghero
ILS_Innovative Learning Spaces is the scientific school organized by DADU (Department of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Sassari within the SPIN-APP project Innovative Spaces for Learning - Regional Law n.7, "Promotion of scientific research and technological innovation in Sardinia"), with the contribution of Sardegna Ricerche under the project “Scientific School 2017-2018”. The third edition is organized in collaboration with 13 international institutional partners, associations and companies. ILS_Innovative Learning Spaces is the first interdisciplinary workshop dedicated to learning spaces in the field of the research and of the project. According to the idea that the school buildings are not the exclusively places for learning, the whole city can be understood as an urban learning platform, a place to incentivize the knowledge process. In this context, the new technologies and the tools for the Augmented Reality contribute to the enhancement of the active and didactic role of urban environments. ILS will explore these concepts within the workshop where experts, students and professionals will develop new ideas and design proposals based on interdisciplinary and transversal principles. The theme of the current edition will focus on the “city for everyone” supporting the idea that a learning space -merely scholastic or in a wider sense urban and public- has to be open and inclusive, especially for the subjects on the margins of social dynamics and weak in the standard processes of use and appropriation of the city. The topic does not involve just disability issues, but it aims to explore spatial and technologic tools to enable spontaneous learning processes assuming the active role of the subjects in the space as supported by several neuroscientific studies.
