The workshop will focus on exploring how sports surfaces can be designed, adapted, and customized for urban spaces and unconventional locations, using the 30×30 cm modular tile system (Tiles Sport Mondo). Participants will have to imagine and design \u201csports surface kits\u201d that can be easily transported, assembled, and functional for different sports disciplines. The final result of the design activity will also have to include a contextualization in some iconic places in Italy to show the potential of playing surfaces in interesting and innovative contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
