 European territory has become completely urbanised. The countrysides in the traditinal sense have disappeared ; the distinctions between the town and the country have been blurred. In contrast to the unambiguous urban transformations of cities, the processes of urban change in the countryside are massive, yet often unnoticed. Away from the public eye and professional scrutiny, these processeshave creates new urban identities and configurations in the formerly rural realm of Europe. The studio series European Countryside explores terra incognita of the countryside, and its radical mutations. The project aims to reinvent contemporary countrysides, both as an urban territory and as a legitimate and critical subject of architecture profession. Initiated in Spring 2016 in Arcadia, the project selects several countryside case-studies from the European typological panorama of countrysides Through these cases, a definition of countryside is being rewritten, and its contemporary potentials discuseed and representes. These insights form the basis for projects on the countryside.
