Dr Ana Cocho-Bermejo, a Professor in the School of Architecture at UIC Barcelona, presented CivicWise along with Domenico di Siena, the founder of the platform, at the IX International Architecture Festival EME3. The festival took place at the Instituto Europeo di Design in Barcelona between 22 and 25 October 2015.
Civicwise is a community that promotes civic empowerment and participatory urbanism. One of the aims behind it is to manage to recover the experience and knowledge of the people who are transforming and improving their quality of life together without forming part of large private or state organisations.
After presenting the project Dr Cocho-Bermejo gave an intensive Workshop on cooperative methodologies for urban design using tools from the new digital era.
The aim of the EME3 International Architecture Festival is to discover, understand and share new forms of architecture and urbanism that are linked to reality in current societies, through reflection and exchanges between the participating professionals and their audience.
