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.
