Geo-graphical Urbanism
The Guest Lecture 06 is held by PhD Arch. and Assistant Professor Nikos Katsikis (Assistant Professor of Urban Design TU Delft, UTL – Chicago, NL/USA) and addresses the well-known theme of 'planetary urbanisation', theorised by Neil Brenner and Christian Schmid in the first decade of the 2000s, placing alongside it in the contemporary framework the idea of 'operational landscapes', resulting from the interaction between cities, hinterlands, anthropic actions and non-human communities.

Learning by Portolans. Reading and Re-writing the built coastline
The Guest Lecture 03 is held by DD PhD Arch. Stefanos Antoniadis (Faculty of Architecture - FA, University of Lisbon - ULisboa) and addresses the trend according to which, by 2050, more than half of the world's population will live within 50 km of major masses of water. This results in strategies that must draw insipiration from investigation practices such as those typical of the nautical discipline, represented by the pilot books.
