Course contents

The course goes into the development of the thesis through the construction of a shared knowledge on the subject of public space in the contemporary city. The course intends to investigate design, organization, distribution and form of mobility places by developing the subjects of the station and the airport. Literature search and analysis of contemporary design experience allow to identify and clarify not only the most significant aspects in the evolution and character of the space intended to accommodate large flows of people, but also their role within the territory and contemporary city, as well as the significance they play in our society.
