Introduction to the African Continent: Building an Urban Dynamics

More often, the professional figure of the architect, rediscovering its original function, is called to respond to the many functional and concrete needs of developing countries. This can only be possible by acting with a conscious approach of resources and means, considering the complex relationships between the architectural artifact and the context in which it is inserted. Learning during the course will take place through lectures, research exercises and in-depth studies on case studies, directly presented by professionals working in the field. These examples will allow, in addition to having a basic knowledge, also to reflect on the local dynamics that, although varying from country to country, are accumulated by an extreme scarcity of resources. The course is mandatory for those who want to attend the BUILDING REALITY WORKSHOP.
