The objectives of the individual module help to define the set of objectives of the entire course.
The workshop proposes design experimentation starting from the confrontation with some of the issues that characterise urban design today: the question of space, destruction, density, the identification of the resources indispensable to change and the agents that can produce it. The workshop will transmit technical knowledge from the perspective of looking at places as a reinvention of what surrounds us, innovating the operational and cultural schemes that contribute to defining the posture of the town planning architect. Students will configure the design proposal by reasoning, during the different transitions that characterise our time, on the possible transformative actions and confronting the complex governance of the factors that build the city.
