INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP HISTORIC CITY CENTRES

Urban communication and heritage enhancement workshop: an analysis of Jodhpur city centre (the blue city), Rajasthan, India

12th - 21st December, 2017

Historic cities are fragile environments straddling between ideologies of preservation and continuation.

Students of the built environments are likely to encounter situations that expect them to actively engage with historic cities where these questions are primary, particularly in the Indian context. As the world of conservation expands itself to acknowledge the coexistence of the old with the new as a potential way of development of the historic city cores, the new professionals will need to be particularly equipped to understand the complexities of such development. Understanding and developing an ability to analyse the components of the historic city centers, from the perspective of the physical built environment, as urban and street traditional furniture will become a key skill for the professionals. This course intends to develop interdisciplinary competences of analysis of historic city centers through diagnostic methods and to define enhancement tools able to foster the urban layout.

Students of Industrial Design and Architecture courses will be working together on a topic of great interest in contemporary design world. Communicating and developing new visions inside the city, understanding innovative ways of enhancing cultural heritage will be the challenge for the future.
