Urban & Environmental Theory Sessions
Paola Viganò, Tommaso Pietropolli Michael Fingleton Loan Laurent

The series of sessions on URBAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL THEORY is a curated collection of public discussions developing a deeper understanding of modern critical thought, a current reading and understanding of the territorial space in which we act, questioning the ever more complex relationships between nature and humanity, ecology and society. Examining the issues raised in the MAS UTD, each semester considers a specific theme, building toward the creation of a contemporary library of territorial knowledge.
