BORGO DIGITALE | SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE IN FLORENCE
This is a growing archive of the work developed at Syracuse University School of Architecture in Florence as part of the Borgo Digitale research group. Divided in three seasons, it is the outcome of an ongoing, collaborative series between visiting students, resident instructors and guest speakers. Each Season engages with a specific aspect of the Italian territory, developing novel readings of what it means to study-abroad in Italy in the 21st century
2020-2021
SEASON 1 - IL BORGO
____The first season of the program focused on the relationship between Countryside and Urban environments - highlighting the distributed network of the Italian Borgo as a fertile site of intervention to renegotiate historical identities and global values_________

SPRING 2022 - MOVING TO GROSSETO
SEASON 3 - LE ISOLE
