Activity Description
In the context of contemporary urban territory, where urban growth has reached its maximum expansion limits, architectural projects currently face an emerging challenge: remaking places that have gone through long periods of anthropic use. In this exercise, students are challenged to re-evaluate the methodologies, strategies and solutions studied in the projects provided in exercise 2 — Forms of occupation). Each group is asked to take hold of the commission/issue or of the project’s strategy and work in the same area to further explore and develop new hypotheses.
