Course Description
The course is grounded in the concepts of IMAGE and MEMORY, proposing a perspective that examines the city through the lens of individual, societal, and collective behavior, moving from the urban scale to architecture, and from architecture to interior space. Within this framework, the course focuses on three different museums located in three distinct cities. The selection of these spaces is based on: The traceability and readability of their historical continuity, The demonstrable relationship between renovation approaches and their contextual integration.
