VIRTUAL COMPONENT – Exercise
After the lectures of the Memos – from point of view of literature and from point of view of architecture – we ask the students to work on words|buildings. Each group of students (Bucarest, Cracow, Lubiana) have to select 5 buildings that the students think could be representative of the 5 values that Calvino thought to save for the 3rd millennium (Lightness, Quickness, Exactitude, Visibility, Multiplicity). For each couple word|building the group have to produce a text of 2 thousand characters and a drawing. Students, also following their professors, can decide to work together or to develop one couple each one but all the 5 Memos has to be faced inside each school.
The virtual room will be activated on June 27th and 28th. On demand the students can enter the Teams and ask if they have any kind of doubts to the tutors. Moreover they can develop their work with the professors of their school, if possible.
