Description
To support a joint effort by four design studios to work on an urban scale (focusing on Lugano) we will conduct an urban research project there: we will learn about the large scale connections and implications of architectural actions and decisions. We will receive inputs from international researchers and practitioners about urban design tools, mobility, energy and other flows, demography, migration and the economy. With this knowledge we will explore a specific situation in Lugano, which each group of four will find and research in detail. At the end, each of the groups will be enabled to propose a holistic and sustainable urban design strategy for their part of Lugano. The combined research of the groups will be compiled in a collective document: the “Lugano Atlas”.
