team & projects’ aims
The Lab’s team, composed of scholars, researchers, and professionals from the world of design, visual art, and ICT, develops projects aimed at:
- Creating new lifestyles and new ways of experiencing physical and digital spaces capable of influencing and changing people’s ideas and behaviors.
- Addressing contemporary issues related to the use of public and private spaces, with a focus on environmental, cultural, social, and economic sustainability.
By generating new awareness and active involvement at both the individual and community levels, not only through play but also through the experience and enjoyment of contemporary art, we promote participatory practices that strengthen the capacity to trigger social change. This process fosters the development of an inclusive, creative, and sustainable society, stimulating the adoption of virtuous behaviors.
The team operates in an interdisciplinary manner to design strategies, services, applications, artifacts, and systems capable of stimulating behavioral changes, including:
1.
Enhancing territories to elevate cultural and tourism levels, particularly in areas affected by heritage degradation and the loss of local traditions.
2.
Implementing strategies to combat settlement dispersal, preventing abandonment and the loss of local identity.
3.
Creating innovative spaces for exhibitions and cultural events, encouraging the involvement of new audiences and communities.
4.
Developing products and services dedicated to the enjoyment of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible.
5.
Designing solutions and tools to support the art system, from production to dissemination.
6.
Creating digital products and interactive installations in collaboration with artists and creatives.

we promote an interdisciplinary approach where architecture and design interact with visual arts and technologies.
The SYDERE_ARTS Lab places contemporary experimentation and innovation at the center of its actions through an interdisciplinary approach in which architecture and systemic design interact with visual arts and technologies.
The Turin’s Polytechnic, cultural enterprises, Regions, and related Agencies can make use of the SYDERE_ARTS Lab to develop solutions aimed at enhancing territories, designing interconnected pathways, or promoting relevant collections. These initiatives will enable the Regions and Regional Agencies to effectively channel PNRR financial resources to the relevant territories, fostering strategic and sustainable interventions.
experience g.y.m. with sydere_arts
The SYDERE_ARTS Lab also makes use of the G.Y.M. – Growing Youthful Material program, the first interdisciplinary residential format that allows design and architecture students at the Politecnico di Torino to interact with visual artists from the most prestigious university courses nationwide.
