CALL FOR
CASE STUDIES
The Symposium "Stretch the Edge. Design driven processes for reactivating small walled towns and inland areas" has as its main objective the collection, systematisation and presentation of national and international case studies, placed as a critical tool of comparison to propose effective solutions for all those inland, rural and marginal territories characterized by natural (e.g., mountains) or artificial (e.g., walls) protective elements that are bearers of historical, cultural and environmental value. This research also aims to understand the role that the discipline of design takes in the process of enhancement and reactivation of historic villages and small fortified towns.
The RESEARCH aims to:
↪ Census, map and interpret quality case studies in this context;
↪ Build a network of international observers;
↪ Share the results of this research during the Symposium and open a collaborative discussion on the topic;
↪ Invite some speakers at the Symposium for illustrating the most effective case studies. A Scientific Committee will select the case studies submitted through the survey;
↪ Publish some case studies in a book and share the whole database with the research community.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE AND WITH WHAT?
If you have formulated, implemented or are familiar with a design practice that has taken place in a particular fortified town/village aimed at territorial regeneration, then the case study fits within the scope and framework of Stretch the edge symposium and is a potential contribution to the case-study collection that we are performing. Are invited to participate: citizens, organizations, associations, professionals and academics.
