Cultivating Possibilities: Reclaiming and speculating

Cultivating Possibilities: Reclaiming and speculating

3rd SUMMER SCHOOL IN ITALY, SUPINO, LAZIO AUGUST 17th - 24th 2014

Following the success of the summer school 1 and 2, we are launching our third summer school this year. The aim is to build on the research and some of the emerging concepts and ideas of the last two summer schools. This year we will explore more specific architectural and urban potential of small towns such as Supino and Morolo, which exist on the periphery of a major European historical city — in this case, Rome — and within the context of the current capitalist crisis. In countries in southern Europe like Italy; the long-term projection is that of continued high unemployment and financial instability.
Indeed, it is a reality that all European countries are going to have to adapt to conditions of greater austerity and scarcity, as global capital shifts increasingly to eastern and southern Asia.
