A matter of measure - Una questione di misura

A bilateral agreement between universities in March 2019 laid the groundwork for the invitation to a delegation of professors, phd students and students of the University of Reggio Calabria to partecipate as designers in the International Urban Design Workshop 2019 "Urban Façade: Istanbul Waterfront", organized in the Turkish headquarters. Partecipating in the same experience are the Italian schools of the project from the University of Parma, Rome La Sapienza, Naples Federico II, the schools of restoration and design of the University of Florence, the departments of architecture of the University of Rotterdam and, of course, the host site.. For a week, about eighty scholars, students, phd students, teachers, work on the development of an idea for a portion of the waterfront of Istanbul. The delegation of the dArTe, composed of three structured teachers (Arcidiacono, De Capua, Russo), two phds of the departmental research Doctorate in Architecture and Territory and seven students enrolled in the third year of the Master's degree course in Architecture, propose in concert with a group of Turkish students an idea for the settlement of the historic center of Beyoglu, district of Istanbul located in the nothern part of the so-called Golden Horn, arm of the sea that separates the area of Galata from the urban center.
