Architecture Laboratories

At the Piacenza Campus, students of Architecture - already from the first year of the Laurea (equivalent to B.Sc.) - can use the Modelling Laboratory and the Fab Lab, spaces dedicated to the creation of architectural models and building elements with the use of professional equipment.

The Modelling Laboratory has machines, tools and equipment for the preparation, processing and assembly of models at different scales and sizes. The Fab Lab is a space for sharing, training and creation of projects, within which there are, in addition to the 3D printer and a "laser cutting" plotter. 

These spaces are located in the Arata Campus, at the Bacciocchi Pavilion, and are designed as "workshop spaces" within which students have the opportunity not only to experiment with the most innovative techniques for the construction of models, maquettes and 3D models, but also to enrich their training path through a direct and guided application.

Access to the Modeling Laboratory and the FabLab is allowed ONLY BY APPOINTMENT by sending a request email to modellistica-piacenza@polimi.it by 2.00pm the previous day. The opening hours are as follows:

• Tuesday/Thursday: 9.00am - 2.00pm
