“Space & Place 2023” International Workshop

The international workshop on the city and spatial justice includes a one-week residential period in Cagliari, with the participation of around 30 students from the three partner universities, University of Cagliari (Italy), Masaryk University Brino (Czechia) and University of Paris-Nanterre (France).

The workshop is dedicated to the study of an urban context in Cagliari, with students divided into “mixed” groups and called to carry out an exercise in reading, interpreting and representing the urban space seen in relation to the themes of spatial and environmental justice, and with the consequent restitution of a “transmedia” elaborate.

The objective of the workshop is to grasp the dynamic character of the city, to consider the urban phenomenon as an overlap between different times and different spaces, actors and practices, to recognize the continuous adaptation and modification determined by the multiplicity of uses and subjects that they inhabit and signify the city space.

Case study area: Is Mirrionis and San Michele neighbourhoods

The objective is study and analyse the case study area, combining different methodologies and approaches, including mapping, survey techniques, photography, audio and video.

    • concepts of spatial justice
    • presentation of the study area in Cagliari
    • documentation and recommended reading
  2. residential workshop in Cagliari, from 27 March to 1 April, with the participation of around 30 students from the three partner universities (Cagliari, Paris-Nanterre, Masaryk). The main interest of the workshop consists in the work of an international group, under the supervision of teachers, with the learning and application of spatial study and research methodologies in relation to “direct immersion” in the case study in a neighbourhood of Cagliari.
  3. a post-workshop online “refinement” phase (with a work commitment of about 20 hours), supervised by the teachers and tutors, to produce the final output, to be presented on 17 April.
