Vasilena Vassilev will be co-directing the University of Sheffield Summer School with Abi Van Hoorebeek.
The focus of our 2016 Summer School is to examine the urban corridor along the river Don in the City of Sheffield and propose “meanwhile” solutions to vacant or underused sites currently undergoing long-term re-development. In addition to attending lectures and visiting various sites around the city, students will work alongside academics and practitioners to design meaningful proposals that critically engage with the urban, social, and ecological conditions of the post-industrial city.
The studio will be taught by Ricardo Sosa Mejia and Arturo Revilla.
