The aim of the paper is to analyze the organization of projects considering the importance of the social ties between their participants. The social side of project-based organizations is a rich “humus” to build upon in developing projects. In particular, we focus on the community of practice as a place where social ties are built and maintained over time. The sharing of a common identity and knowledge among the members of the community is a premise for the development of projects.The paper offers a fresh view of the functioning of projects, specifically in the realm of the creative industries; the empirical context is the emerging design community within the Turin area (Italy): Turn.
