This joint workshop is the first step in collaboration between participating schools and architecture/urban design laboratories from the University of Split, Keio University (Darko Radovic Lab) and the University of Tokyo (Kengo Kuma Lab).
The first Split-Tokyo Workshop (to be held 12-19.9.2011) aims to investigate historically established patters of urban life and the capacity of architecture and urban spaces to evolve and accommodate chnage.
Using Diocletian’s Palace and its vicinity, the workshop will attempt to engage salient urban phenomena and issues such as urbanity, everyday life, smallness, density, intensity, creativity, (re)use, open space, cultural sustainability.
The emphasis is on small, bottom-up interventions and their contributions to intensification of urban experience and quality.
