How will we live together?

Module II is structured through seminars and laboratories that delve into various aspects of the Architecture of Collective Living. The mandatory courses, “Architecture, theory, and criticism” and “Architecture, environment, and technology,” consist of an introductory research seminar and four laboratories. In addition to these mandatory courses, there are two elective subjects. “Contemporary architectural topics” with the support of Mies van der Rohe Foundation, will work on the architectural archives by analyzing case studies, and visiting relevant housing projects in Barcelona. The other elective is “The public space in urban reform” which focuses on understanding the structure of housing and city in Barcelona.

In summary, this module aims to help students understand the framework of debate in Southern Europe regarding issues related to the Architecture of Collective Living so that this discussion can then be applied to other parts of the world.
