The Workshop proposes a didactic approach with projects for the reuse of disused properties in Rome, implementable in time phases that can be extended to the unexpected. It connects students with emerging communities by stimulating research, on the place investigated, of actors, users, financing, circular economy triggers. Time and the human factor induce an indeterminate project inducing search for timelines, self-organizing actors, phases of development, with the contribution of tools and methods for project evaluation.
