Sevilla: Domestic City. Experimentation and Urban Critic from Confinement

Abstract

Sevilla_Domestic City is a non-attendance teaching activity developed during the Pandemic in the framework of the course Urbanism 1, Architecture Program, University of Seville. It took advantage of the classroom-house-studio and its infinite virtual windows to the world for the investigation of the present and future city. Using ICT tools, it combined active learning methodologies with mechanisms of communication and artistic expression to question this confined inhabitance. It consisted of an international series of conferences in which professional photographers, artists, urban planners, and architects participated, who in an lively format of presentation and debate contributed with their vision of the contemporary city. The series gave intellectual support to a photographic project in which each student had to choose a thematic line and create a collection. These works were part of a collective exhibition published at the social network Instagram, motivating interaction with students from other universities.
