The Extemporary Capsule emerges as a micro-architecture initiative under a self-construction scheme. Curated by architects Paolo Mestriner and Jo.o Cruz, at the origin of this project lies the configuration process through the act of doing.

First developed in a community setting by ESAD and POLIMI Politecnico di Milano students, the workshop entitled A Mão Encontra a Mente [The Hand Meets the Mind] – which is part of the continuous educational practice included in the Master’s Degree Study Program in Interior Design, coordinated by Maria Milano – looks at relationships involving interaction and proxemics of the body with the space-object, that will successively define three types of moments developed by three different groups, each one referred to body-space-body actions, respectively: Entering , Passing Through, and Being.

The process becomes complete with the act of self-construction at Leonardo da Vinci National Science and Technology Museum, participated by the authors themselves, while constituting, in the form of a microarchitecture, the module Extemporary Capsule, in the Portuguese participation at the XXI Milan Triennale Milan.
