Thesis Title:
XL,L,M,S and backwards. Transforming invisible resources into architecture of migration. A walkthrough from the globalization of human waste to the design of a new first aid and reception centre (CSPA) in Lampedusa through the planning of resilient strategies for reception.
Student: Professor:
Guido Mitidieri Roberto Bologna
Objectives: My thesis project aims to write a technical legal instrument for projecting and building new centers for first reception of migrants in Europe using a “resilient approach�.
Project: Standardized management of people proves to be too rigid and is ultimately ineffective because of the mutability in the short period of migrations. The most appropriate strategy is one that accommodates in the project this variability. In this sense, the project proposes the RE-USE of boats with which immigrants arrive on Italian shores as temporary residences in Lampedusa. It is a decision that uses a widely available resource in the area, cheap and that would otherwise be destroyed. Resilience requires to make the most of what you have available and to transform what is potentially a loss, in a positive growth situation. Due to the unpredictable future evolution of migrational phenomenon my project for Lampedusa is able to adapt itself and respond in time to the mutability of the needs of the territory, the economy and political society. It is a solid iron framework that could host different functional spaces: in time of migration, boats and services, when migrations would end the framework could host public services for the Lampedusa community.

IDENTIFICATION AND LEGAL AID
9b
For unaccompanied foreign minors the first reception is more delicate and requires a very familiar and comfortable space, which allows on the one hand the performance of the correct legal procedures of identification and on the other the protection of the child and the respecting of their diversity. The center for the reception of minors is thought to allow their permanence for a longer time than the adults始one. Is preferable to keep children in a safe and welcoming place rather than transporting them from center to center in Italy.

ATTENTION MONSIEUR CORBUSIER! The design of Le Corbusier and the Modern Movement between 1920 and 1950 was a design that saw the clear opposition between healthy and sick, recognizing as healthy model the modern architecture, in opposition to the sick model represented by the european medieval architecture of the European city, dark and dirty. This opposition was based on the idea of removing the crises, waste and disease through architecture. This is a strategy that is still alive today and that uses the architecture to build limits or barriers to separate humans from their own waste.

Architecture as a dish, a city始s ingredient
How to combine in a comfortable way all the ingredients of a good recipe? The taste of the individual parts of a dish can be even sublime, but if you do not work together for the success of the taste the result is a dish in half, where everyone wants to be as good, and you trample the flavors in the mouth. So in the architecture, as well in the city.
The product, in this case the architecture, must be designed so that it can become part of a continuous process of recovery and reuse. The architecture is not designed here as a product of a linear economic system, which is based on the logic of construction, use and abandonment, but as a nutritive food of the city, namely in a perspective of circular metabolic economy. Architecture must not be cooked, eaten quickly, digested and then excreted as waste; It must also be a light dish, easy to digest, tastes and different flavors that once finished its cycle is easily absorbed and converted into another
