Abitare con cura: IED and Sex & the City rethink collective and collaborative housing in Turin
Date
28 April 2026
What does it mean today to design for shared forms of living? And how can Interior Design contribute to building more equitable models?
These are the questions at the core of ABITARE CON CURA. Per un abitare collettivo e collaborativo a Torino, a course led by Sex & the City (Azzurra Muzzonigro and Florencia Andreola, with the support of Renata Boeri) within the Master’s Program in Interior Design IED Turin.
The course explored these themes as a response to the social, cultural, and economic transformations that have reshaped domestic life from the 1960s to the present, focusing on the role of interior design in rethinking housing models through a cooperative approach.
Building on research into the Turin context, students developed five design proposals for an intervention on the former Superga site in the city of Turin.
The projects — COHO – Horizontal Community for an Operative Habitat , Node 28, Hubitativo, Minerva – Artist Residency, and We.Home. Social housing for an LGBTQIA+ friendly community — explore new ways of inhabiting domestic space, through environments designed to foster relationships and shared care practices.
The projects were publicly presented at Torino Urban Lab, as the outcome of a process combining research, design practice, and critical reflection.
