The MIAW – Milan International Architecture Workshop is the international intensive programme at the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering. It provides an international design forum for schools, teachers and students, but it is also an informal platform to discuss different thematics and share ambitions. The aim of the workshop is to stimulate cross-over thinking between researchers and practitioners in the design field, involving different scales and encouraging an interdisciplinary approach towards design problems. Each class has an International Guest Professor of high profile whose activity and interests are related to the different study courses and disciplinary areas characterising the School of Architecture, Urban Planning and Engineering, Milan.

The project asked for hybrid programmes to integrate life, work and leisure on various scales: from the dense, urban supply and infrastructure hubs through to the more rural environments that lead over to the area of the risaie. Design tasks ranged from overall urban concept to buildings, bridges, urban infrastructure, shelters, light, furniture to designing with plants and green spaces.
