Abstract: The publication presents the work conducted by faculty members, doctoral candidates, and students of the Intensive Design Workshop for the academic year 2024/2025 on Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation Transitoire. Through a process of experimentation and adaptation, students have developed architectural proposals that reinterpret the individual plots conceived by Le Corbusier. The design approach seeks to balance density, spatial quality, and sustainability, with particular attention to the relationship between residential units and shared spaces. The outcome is a collection of projects that explore new modes of habitation, integrating typological experimentation with livability, envisioning the city as a dynamic, inclusive, and open organism.
