Description of the studio

The educational objective is  to focus on issues that emerge in the transition from the broader programmatic framework that regulates the development of the city to the design and the structure of urban space. These issues concern the compatibility between the logic of urban planning and the logic through which the urban space of the contemporary city is anticipated. Our main goal was to study and explore the "links" through which a better insight will be gained into the continuity of the city space and the continuity of the practice through which the city is planned, 'organized and architecturally shaped.
