Abstract
The international PhD POLIS/Ferrara in Architecture and Urban Planning,
organizes for the 33rd cycle a new
Workshop trying to explore more in depth
one of the most not yet explored city in the Eastern Europe. The case of the city of
Prishtina, capital of Kosova , shows today an image of a city without hierarchies and
points of reference. In this frame of study the case of Prishtina can be seen within
some of the recent research fields already active in the previous years within the
Department of Applied Research (OMB) Observatory of the Mediterranean Basin
FKHZ Faculty at POLIS University.
The base of the discussion for this year will be the idea to develop the critical and
analytical capacity of each PhD student to find, within a given morphological analysis
of the city, tools able to generate new architecture and design processes for the future development of the city.
