BIP - Blended Intensive Programme
Regimescape - Rethinking the Urban and Environmental Legacy of 20th-Century Authoritarian and Totalitarian Regimes - is an educational project that aims to investigate the characteristics of the collective landscape shaped by the totalitarian political regimes of the 20th century, not only in Italy (also Spain, Germany, Portugal, Russia), from an urban, landscape and environmental perspective.
However, precisely because of their controversial nature and the state of oppression that gave rise to them, urban planning and spatial planning are the subject of debate and controversy. These radical transformations of the first half of the 20th century pose a crucial challenge today for historical preservation and analysis.
In this context, ‘rethinking' implies a critical examination and reinterpretation of these artificial landscapes and city spaces. Rather than simply denying, preserving or erasing them, the title suggests a process of deliberate reconsideration and reflection of the physical and symbolic aspects of these landscapes.
It implies a thoughtful commitment to understanding the historical and cultural significance of these places, with the aim of interpreting them, or even reconfiguring them, according to present and future needs, while recognising their past associations with totalitarian and authoritarian rule, through a comparative historical analysis with other European realities.
This objective is to be achieved by means of site visits and the contextual study of bibliographic references and the exercise of direct observation through surveying, drawing, photography, filmography and the most up-to-date means of visual communication.
