THE SAN SIRO GUILDS
This project seeks to explore the notions of self governance and mutual-aid, and how they relate to the formation of migrant communities within San Siro. Using the notion of guilds as a primary precedent for the formation of a series of nested institutions, and with reference to the idea of ‘the commons’, the resultant typology is of a reinterpreted town hall that responds to existing initiatives and practices of the residents. Focus is given to a variety of gathering chambers which inform spaces for the provision of training and education drawing inspiration from the historical specialisation guilds stood for during their most prosperous times.
