MATERIA

Regeneration of historical centres and building of a more inclusive urban fabric through spaces activated by culture and community, housing & schools

[MATERIA @MATERIA_inc]

The @AtlasforMedina project has kicked off: the Medina of Tunis is a living testament to a more solidary & sustainable living model & holds key lessons for our urban future

A @MATERIA_inc X @HarvardGSD project conceived & organised by @GarethDoherty and @LucioFrigo (1/6)

[Lucio Frigo @LucioFrigo]

I contributed an essay to @Cambridge_Uni Scroope Architectural Journal by @arch_cambridge focussing on a 1960-70s cultural review in Morocco, Souffles-Anfas, that “became one of the most radical publications on decolonial narratives in the Arab world”.
