This BIP "Laboratorio de Arquitectura Popular: Redescubir el Mediterráneo" focused on the vernacular architecture of the Mediterranean and took place in Sicily. The purpose was to conduct fieldwork, primarily using freehand drawing, to document specific cases of vernacular architecture in various urban settlements on the island. The activities included guiding a working group during on-site activities, composed of students from the involved universities, participating in discussions with other tutors, and giving a lecture.
