Crowdmapping Mirafiori Sud - CMMS
Turin, Italy – April 2013/ October 2013
The aim of the project was to identify and communicate, with the participation of the residents and thanks to the use of new technologies, the barriers (physical and cultural) that prevent residents from making use of the public space in the Mirafiori Sud district.
The information gathered, processed and classified, is made available through an online platform.
Citizens are active parties: using crowdmap, the open-source tool created by Ushahidi, everyone can send by mobile phone problems, proposals and the things that work well in their district, thus feeding a process of complete and transparent participation.
Anpil Pay
Italy/Haiti – March 2015/ January 2016
The workshop had two objectives, developing a press for straw balls and a housing prototype with straw bales that could adapt to Haiti’s context. It was carried out in collaboration with Architettura senza Frontiere Piemonte ONLUS, CISV (Comunità Impegno Servizio Volontario) and TNE (Torino Nuova Economia), thanks to the financial contribution from Politecnico di Torino for student’s activities.
It involved students from architecture and engineering.
Building with community

It is part of a bigger programme that the C.A.M.P.O NGO is working on, since 2009, with the objective of creating technological innovation processes trough the “pisè constructive technique” transfer.
The aim is a sustainable local development in the indigenous communities of the Mexican region Oaxaca.
