ABOUT
AACCP (Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning) is a multidisciplinary
and progressive network, which has gathered together researchers, experts and
practitioners from various fields to discuss topics related to urban development and city
planning since 2014. One of the main aims of the network is to promote collaboration
between different actors and increase understanding of a profitable co-existence of the past,
present and future in urban environments. The AACCP workshop born from an idea by Per Cornell (University of Gotheborg, Sweden) and Giorgio Verdiani (University of Florence, Italy), it is a free, indipendent workshop, thought to promote the collaboration and the creation of links between scholars on the fields of Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning. The main language is English, but any real interested scholar, from any country and with any academic or personal experience to share about the topics of the conference is welcome. The workshop is based on participation and is thought to allow reaonable time for each contribution and leaving generous time for questions/answers and constructive debate. The main formula of the workshop in place, thus some contributions may be admitted to take part online.
