Students are challenged with questions of how hard or how easy it is to reuse those localities. The assignments are non-traditional locations such as abandoned quarries or mining sites, testing the student’s creativity to break away from the classic concept of urbanism. The goal is to create a city under difficult conditions that will withstand the 21st century and meet the trends of sustainable living.
