Barcelona Studio: Metropolitan Shores Beach Palace 3X
Dean's Gallery
Program Director:
Manuel Bailo, Professor of Architecture
In fall 2023, the Barcelona studio focused on the city's Metropolitan Shores, an area that has constantly evolved throughout Baracelona's history and has not yet reached its final form. To define the future Metropolitan Shoreline, the studio worked on one of the most iconic infrastructure landmarks of the city: the 3 Chimneys of the Besos River 3X. The studio analyzed and reimagined this strategic node, where geography reveals its forces, intersecting with the city and its infrastructures. Today, it stands as a missing piece in the puzzle of Barcelona's shoreline design, one that will soon help define the Metropolitan Shoreline of Barcelona.
Connected Urban Ecologies: Landing in Venice
East Wing Gallery
Faculty:
William Sherman, Mario di Valmarana Professor, Architecture, Director of Program in Venice and the Veneto
Ali Fard, Assistant Professor, Architecture and Urban Planning
Monica Shenouda, Lecturer, Art and Architecture
Over the past few years, the Venice program has focused on reimagining the city’s urban and ecological connections. Through studio projects students question the emerging urban landscape of the city and its larger regional footprint. Building on the work of the past two iterations of the Venice program, the fall 2023 studio explored the post-industrial landscapes of Venice as sites of opportunity for new forms of 21st century urbanism. Particularly, the site of a former gasworks at the southwestern corner of the city provides a testing ground for these explorations.
Vicenza Studio: Questioning Through Drawing
Naug Lounge
Program Directors:
Luis Pancorbo, Associate Professor, Architecture
Ines Martin Robles, Associate Professor, Architecture
During this summer course, students develop their hand-drawing skills to observe relationships both particular to the place and those that are universal to human occupation. They record the development of prototypical constructions at the scale of the town and building to address universal conditions such as threshold, boundary, and frame. Students consider how these conditions are approached at a range of scales while studying the development of Vicenza's civic identity.
