What We Do

    Research carried out at Vereda focuses on the written culture of architecture and urbanism, especially in print media from the 16th century to the present, and on the documentation of spatial typologies in traditional and modern buildings.

  • Teaching

    Laboratory members teach required and elective courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, in architectural and urban history and theory, heritage conservation (historic preservation), and preservation technology.

  • Outreach and Service

    The laboratory organizes and takes part in events such as courses, conferences, and working groups that bring the University closer to the architectural profession and to the public, especially in the fields of literary culture, criticism, and design.
