Porto. Design in Urbanism. The Big Reset on Neighbourhood Design
The third edition of the European summer school will proceed with the ongoing debate on the topic of neighborhood design. After the highly successful start in Amsterdam and the fruitful session in Istanbul last year, the new edition will take place in Porto. The ten-day European Intensive Program is composed of inspiring lectures and excursions, intensive design workshops and critical debates. The challenging program particularly investigates the role of urban planners and designers in creating attractive and productive neighborhoods. Starting from the notion of ‘Neighborhoods as Laboratories between Social and Design Concepts’, the international student teams are invited to reflect on and engage with the given urban properties and constitution, to radically careful or carefully radical reconsider and redesign preselected urban fabrics towards spatially and socially sustainable places.
