History

“Today, technology is providing the tools to remedy the contradiction in the industrial world, as long as you want, because technology alone can neither liberate neither enslaving; it must be understood, guided, used towards the goals that interest us”.

Giorgio Ceragioli, “L’uomo e la città”, Progetto, n. 3, 1982

In the sixties prof. Giorgio Ceragioli, started to promote initiatives, research and collaborations in the field of Architecture and Cooperation. Between 1969 and 1972, he launched free courses on the topics of building industrialization in extreme conditions and social housing in developing Countries.
In 1988, under his leadership, he started the School of Specialization in “technology, architecture and cities in developing countries”, which has been a point of maturity and exchange at the international level. The school was active until 2002 and since 2006 the Centre was formally born.
