Interview with Italian architect Domenico di Siena (living in Madrid ~7 years) about the 15‑M movement and Acampada Sol. Domenico frames 15‑M as a ‘‘machine for making citizens’’ and a practical experiment in reappropriating public space—turning Puerta del Sol into a temporary ‘micro‑city’ that enabled new forms of urban citizenship. He criticizes commercial/touristic management of Madrid’s public spaces, praises the camp’s self‑organization and replication of urban functions, and highlights mobile streaming as a bidirectional tool that connected remote audiences (notably in Italy) to on‑the‑ground assemblies. He contrasts networked (identity en red) vs. collective identities, emphasizes the movement’s nonviolence (and worries about violent incidents in Italy on Oct 15), and sees the movement as a cultural revolution with local (glocal) impact on everyday life and democracy.
