The semester began with a fieldtrip to Caporciano, where  a comprehensive working basis was created not only through careful analysis of buildings and urban space, but above all through many interviews and conversations with residents. At the same time, a surprisingly sincere connection developed between the students and the residents.

After the field trip, the work in the in-depth project developed more and more into an experiment of different working methods in architectural design. The main focus included a situational approach, the use of digital and analog tools and presentation formats, as well as the perception of the site as a reallaboratory for sustainable planning and building. The emerging strategies for solutions showed a great diversity and ranged from proposals of restoration for public or semi-public uses of existing buildings, very precise interventions in local structures to create new urban spaces, to landscaping projects.
