In 2014 focus was on urban and landscape regulation. Students worked during one week visualizing the scope and impact of the plans.
The objective of this workshop, which was develop for 5 years, is to support the candidacy to the UNESCO cultural landscape.
Thus, in those editions, water system that irrigate the small groves, trails and bridges that connect towns and valleys, walls that modified the landscape to make it arable, and build-up areas are identified and represented.
