Course unit content

A building is never an "isolated object", on the contrary it is always part of a context, natural or anthropic.

A complex environment, made of social, economic, cultural, civil, "tissues" able to mirror the urban fabrics. To know how to read these fabrics, to learn how to understand their relational logic, standby and differences, it means to consciously build the project of their transformation.
