Abstract

The interior patio of the Design Building is the central place where the attention and energy of the architecture department converge. Changing the point of view on its use and perception is part of the practice of future architects. The idea is to produce innovative installations to stimulate the student's imagination and activate new forms of teaching and involvement.
What used to be a reading week became an opportunity to set up a temporary theatre where various activities could occur and invite guest lecturers to talk to the students.
Simple and recyclable materials were the starting point for the set-up.
