Abstract

In the classroom, as in our study, each project makes appear and develop interests that help it move forward and go beyond the specific solution, beyond the specific circumstances, of the urgency of the assignment. This allows developing long-distance topics, where each project sets a reflection that will have an echo in the next. In the classroom we wanted to transfer these reflections and bring them closer to the students with an exercise where they can share and contrast other possible ways of interpreting and acting.
The re-use of buildings, their adaptation to host new programs is one of the issues that concern and fascinate us at the same time, and we have brought it to the ETSAB classrooms and other schools where we have been teaching during these last years. We thought it was a good time to show it in this gigantic showcase that is the Venice Architecture Biennale, where each participant, in addition to responding to the Biennale commissioners manifesto, has their own reflection topics to share in an international debate field.
