A warm invitation to the exhibition "Capriccio: Positions on the European City" in the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale. The exhibition presents the drawings of 45 architects from all over the world that address the theme of architectural coexistence in the city. As part of the exhibition, the collage "Morphology of Monpazier" by Klaus Schäfer, Professor of Urban Design at the School of Architecture Bremen, addresses the principle of archetypes in urban design.
The goal - the dense, mixed and compact city - is a comprehensive one. It is about definitively approaching the essence of the city from different perspectives and exploring the spatial, structural, sociological and economic aspects of these observations. The city is translated from a retrospective image into a future programme - learning from the existing substance!
