Emerging Perspectives on Urban Morphology: Researching and Learning through multiple practices

EPUM is an international research project which aims at the integration of different urban form research and teaching approaches through pedagogic innovation and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The activities of this 28 months project (2017-2020) are funded by Erasmus+ and focus on the development of an innovative, open and inclusive system of teaching and training in urban form from a multidisciplinary perspective, capable of enabling the current and future generation of planning and design professionals to address comprehensively and effectively the variety of issues and challenges faced by contemporary cities. This website provides information about the project activities to partners and to other parties interested in the work of the project.

ISUF2019 CONFERENCE – Cities as Assemblages

EPUM partners are actively involved in the next ISUF (international Seminar on Urban Form) international conference, “Cities as Assemblages”, hosted by the Cyprus Network of Urban Morphology, 2-5 July 2019. The conference aims to address the embedding of different theories and approaches within methodologies analysing the urban form. Conference themes include:

1. Theory 1 : emergence, relational theories, the social sciences and urban morphology.
2. Theory 2 : the scope and limits of urban theories.
3. Urban Design : urban morphology, building typology and design
4. Methods 1 : embedding different approaches into the study of urban morphology.
5. Methods 2 : combining Conzenian, typological and space syntax approaches.
6. Focus 1 : urban conflict and divided cities.
7. Focus 2 : Mediterranean port cities in a global context.
