ftr.ct.lb* Alghero
Last week another futurecitylab studio started teaching. The Sardegna studio is exploring the future of the Island in 2050 and is situated at the Faculty of Architecture in Alghero (University of Sassari). Here we will research the specific topics of futurecitylab within the low density context of the island.
Around 55 students (mainly from Sardegna) joined the studio in the 3rd year of the diploma program. The studio is led by Thomas Auer (Transsolar) and Daniel Dendra (anOtherArchitect | OpenSimSim). Martin Haas (Behnisch Architects) is visiting professor and will do a workshop with the students in October. Studio tutors are Alessandra Lai and Francesca Rango.
The campus in Alghero is situated directly on the waterfront. Could you imagine a better setting to research a sustainable future?
We are hosting our first research workshop and conference from 6th until 9th of June in Sardegna.
