Further Information
It will be addressing an Urban Design & Contextual Architecture challenge in Seville. It will be an inclusive workshop, allowing for various levels of skills and academic backgrounds focusing on the didactic opportunities, international networking, and ‘charrette’ process as a convivial and participative learning experience.
The expected outcome will be a variety of designs which will be presented as a catalogue of architectural solutions to upgrade several public areas in the city center.
