Time has flown by, and once again, our course has culminated with the presentation of our students’ final theses. This year, the presentations took place on May 30th and 31st. Our students showcased their hard work and innovative research in front of a distinguished jury composed of our esteemed in-house faculty members and our honored guest, Professor Kathrin Golda Pongtratz from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (ETSAB-UPC). We look forward to celebrating the future achievements of our students and the insightful discussions that will follow their presentations.
On May 31st Kathrin Golda Poncratz honoured us with the conference “Urban memory and public space”.
