President’s Letter to the Stakeholders
Planning the transformation
New challenges for new needs. We are all undergoing one of the greatest transformations in recent history, as we find ourselves in a new context dictated by the health emergency that is profoundly changing our lives and the way we work, imposing new shared priorities.
New needs emerge in living spaces that require urban environments on a more human scale, versatile but at the same time comfortable domestic spaces, able to combine with work needs that need to be rethought.
The future that will come
A new normality
The health emergency caused by Covid-19 has confronted us with the need to rethink the spaces in which we live, living our homes, workplaces and, more generally, our cities in a profoundly different way
Rethinking the Project
The cultural contribution of our people
In these months, the People of Politecnica have been experiencing a change that will lead to a normality characterized by different needs in conceiving physical spaces and different functions of use compared to those to which we are traditionally accustomed.
