Theoretical research is a sine qua non in the art of urbanism. The gigantic scale and impact of the urbanistic practice makes the art of urbanistic research invaluable for the future and a patrimony equally valuable as the built patrimony.

 

THE UNADAPTED CITY is a fundamental research into program and spatiality of a democratic urbanism, resulting in alternative models, broadening the architectonic and urbanistic vocabulary and reflecting on an enriched urban living.
