De Carlo’s Il Magistero: a case study in continuity?
University of Manchester Ph. D candidate Hacer Basarir’s project concerns the conservation of walled cities and their key elements through reuse. Her research includes three case-studies, and she has just completed the fieldwork for one of them by organising a research trip to Urbino, Italy. She interviewed the relevant authorities in Urbino and carried out on-site investigations regarding the interventions by Giancarlo de Carlo, especially his famous project Il Magistero, the University of Urbino School of Education (1968-76).
Hacer’s graduate studies are supervised by Eamonn Canniffe (e.canniffe@mmu.ac.uk).
