The studio is preceded by urban design analysis which focuses on the historic layering of the city of Rome, and a study of Roman building types through history. Prerequisite: Some knowledge of architecture.
Course Objectives:
To link the studies of history and urban morphology with contemporary design and to involve the student actively in the use and building of the city.
