international training workshop 2

The workshop, hosted by University of Porto, was attended by 20 participants from different countries in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. Activities included theoretical presentations on urban form and on the relationship between morphological research and architectural practice by KAEBUP partners and other experts in the field. Students and tutors collectively worked on urban form at different scales – from the entire city to one single building – addressing time and change, and reflecting on the relationships between the physical and the social dimensions. The city of Riyadh and the MoMRA building (designed by Schiattarella Associati) provided a pretext to develop a broad morphological view on urban form. The workshop was a privileged opportunity to reflect and discuss on the fundamental themes of urban form and the agents and transformation processes that shape it, in a collective learning method.
