Description: The workshop, aimed at Bachelor's Degree students (2nd and 3rd year), explores the themes of the Master's Degree in Architectural Design and History offered at the Mantova Campus of the Politecnico di Milano. The activities are part of MANTOVARCHITETTURA 2026, a cultural project that for more than ten years has included exhibitions, conferences, and meetings with leading figures in international architectural culture on the theme of dialogue between urban context and design, who will be involved in the work phases. The workshop is one of the activities organized by the UNESCO Chair in Architectural Planning and Conservation in Heritage Cities, based at the Mantova Campus of the Politecnico di Milano.
The theme of MANTOVARCHITETTURA 2026, Architecture and Climate Change, will be interpreted by the workshop through an analogy with the history of architecture. The continuity of the history of architectural archetypes in change will form the basis of the workshop's investigation, translating them into a traveling theater ark that is loaded with figures and themes from history, reflecting them back in a theatrical way in the city.
Credits: 4 CFU credits are awarded to architecture students.
