Count it, Change It, Scale It

51N4E’s workshop at Utopian Hours 2022 will give the opportunity to exercise the studio’s methodology for constructing actionable timelines which allow for precise interventions that are accounted for, and build towards regime change from individual actions.

The workshop will be focused on the Dora river axis in Turin and will activate participants through three phases.

The “count it” phase will be dedicated to identifying metrics and lenses of observation to assess the state of the area – from land usage to current population and carbon footprint. A detection of the most urgent issues at hand and frameworks through which we can account for them. What are our goals for this part of the city and how far are we from them?

The “change it” step will allow participants to put forward a menu of scalable strategies, populating the focus area with ideas, designs and actions which can trigger a shift towards our ambitions.

“Scale it”: the last phase will be building the actionable timeline from singular innovations to a landscape of transition. Each table of participants will present and position their structured pool of thoughts over an extralarge canvas. Together they will also identify institutions and actors who can play a key role in adopting and scaling the proposed strategies. This step embodies sharing and teaching which stands as a vector for exponential growth and upscaling the impact of the steps before.

The morning will start with a complimentary welcome breakfast included in the workshop fee.
