STUDIO 4
180 HOUSING UNITS IN VENICE

Overview:
In Venice, the intersection of tourism and preservation equals Housing. This studio explores domestic life through the detailed development of the individual unit, shared areas and the common city, speculating that housing could still be idle, almost useless in the contemporary city – and can, therefore, represent a challenge to Venice's status quo today.

Field Trips:
Gino Valle and Cino Zucchi housing projects on Giudecca Island
Aldo Rossi, Alvaro Siza, and Carlo Aymonino Housing at Campo di Marte

Guests (TBC):
Daniel Tudor Munteanu (ofHouses)
Giovanna Silva (Humboldt Books)
Pier Paolo Tamburelli (baukuh)

HOW TO APPLY
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
All applications should be received directly via the ECA website.

If you are a university student and the ECA's Exhibiting Architecture course is an approved study abroad programme you should also apply through the Global Mobility or International Office of your University to satisfy pre credit-point approval.

If you are a university student and the ECA's Exhibiting Architecture course is not an approved study abroad programme you are still welcome to apply for the course via the ECA website. Upon request the ECA is able to provide your university the appropriate coursework and syllabus information to support having your work recognised for credit within your degree. The ECA, however, cannot guarantee credit will be given.

STUDIO PREFERENCES
You are required to enter your studio preferences (1-4) when you apply for the Exhibiting Architecture course. We aim to allocate students to their first-choice studio, sometimes however this is not always possible. If you aren't allocated your preferred studio it will be helpful to know that studio's run in the same palazzo building in Venice and studio leaders and students often join other studios for review panels and lectures. Students will be notified of their studio allocation in May 2020.
