Abstract

The last phase is the Presentation phase, where students are asked to demonstrate their ability to deliver a clear discourse, explain their approach and strategy in a convincing manner.

Objective

The final review of the Design Studios, to which local actors are invited to, guarantee a feedback loop of those inputs and give criteria for the evaluation of the work.

Content

Within the framework of ‘Inclusive Urbanism,’ and after exploring the ‘Arrival City’ theme, the MAS program is tackling questions of migration and urban space. Arguing that urban design is an innovative, resilient, and politically powerful tool for architects and planners to address such complex matters, and moving away from emergency solutions (e.g. refugee camps, transit centers), we explore the notion of ‘staying’ somewhere.
