The goal of the project is to create a virtual campus to promote the study of dwelling at a European scale. This virtual campus is going to develop new methods to study housing in a multidisciplinary way, interweaving different courses and seminars, digital repositories and on-line learning environments, cases analysis and project workshops taking place at the participating institutions.

Istanbul'dan selamlar! Greetings from Istanbul!


The Istanbul workshop is on full speed: we kicked off with a series of introductory lectures and presentations about the general theme of proximity and about the site.
Later we took a boat trip up the Bosphorus, to approach the site from the water. A walking excursion through the different neighborhoods introduced us to the specific nature of each area and their problems or potentials.
A first task tried to look for "Signs of Proximity" on the site, as all participants mapped the area by creating a sequences of 10 photographs of the site, posted on the Workspace.
Friday morning, at 9AM, all groups will present their proposals for the site. Feel free to join us!
