Le ville e i giardini medicei rappresentano un vero e proprio microcosmo attorno a cui ruota la vita di corte. In questi luoghi i Medici prima, i Lorena e i Savoia poi si dedicarono alle proprie passioni: l’arte e il mecenatismo, la vita nella natura e la caccia, la convivialità a corte e la buona tavola. Per la ricchezza di arredi, motivi decorativi e tecniche artigianali custodiscono veri e propri tesori, testimonianze materiali delle arti minori del nostro territorio.
Stazione Utopia, in collaborazione con il Polo Museale della Toscana, propone una serie di attività ricreative e di formazione, laboratori e visite guidate finalizzate a far conoscere la storia e le opere conservate nelle ville e nei giardini, attraverso metodologie inclusive e una varietà di tematiche e approcci pensati per pubblici sempre più articolati e differenziati: dalle scuole, agli adulti, alle persone con bisogni educativi speciali.
A partire dalle potenzialità offerte dalle lavagne interattive, si propongono lezioni frontali in cui grazie a diversi supporti (video, interviste, immagini, rendering) si illustrano temi di ampia portata e vasto respiro.

PLAN:
ARCHITECTURE | Vol 1.
From Monday 3 to Friday 7 July
edited by Margot Omodei, Codesign Toscana
The first week of Architekstura aims to provide education about the city and in the city, to awaken the discovery and understanding of the daily urban environment, of public space and its inhabitants, human and otherwise. Through observations, sensorial explorations, listening exercises, interviews and group elaborations, participants will be accompanied to create a mapping of the needs and resources of the neighborhood which will be used during the second week to design an element of street furniture.
ARCHITECTURE | Vol 2.
From Monday 4th to Friday 8th September
inspired by Sedicente Moradi and Anastasiia Yermishyna, Onouka
The second week of Architekstura is dedicated to the conception and construction of an element of urban architecture co-designed by the children, the girls and Sedicente Moradi, a Florentine artist. The work is conceived as a gift to the walls of the Tabacchi Factory in perfect harmony with the fabric of the spaces and respecting the surrounding environment which hosts the work and does not pollute.
