Naples Lab

Perhaps because it was the last stop on the Grand Tour, surely because its
beauty is highly seductive, one cannot remain indifferent to the millennial
city of Naples. Naples, where students and professors from urbanism,
architecture, architectural engineering and design from Northern and Southern
European universities met twice a year between 2013 and 2018 to capture the
qualities of Naples's specific territory and respond to the contemporary
situation. The first part of the book relates to lectures given by local
researchers. The second part concerns the tentative designs and resilience in
the face of modern challenges. Again, the proposals at Naples’s persistence in
hosting Europe’s historical richness through time, and its great diversity of
people and uses throughout space.
