MARSON KORBI (Tirana, 1990) is an architect, PhD and researcher. His main interested is focused on architecture and design theory, tackled through the point of view of political theory and critical materialism. In his research, he usually tries to go outside the disciplinary cornices of architecture, for a better understanding of the creative process of the project. In his research, he tries to see architecture as a critical ideology, strongly related to the real context and everyday life, that needs constantly to be questioned and reinvented. He has a very careful position to the easy-going fetishism of formalism, of composition-for-the-sake-of-composition, and to the coercive boundaries dictated by disciplinary sectors. He has a very careful position to the obsessive rhetoric of tradition, heritage and the reactionary ‘return’ to the local—aspects that are arguably strongly embedded within contemporary populism. In his research, he tries to understand the relation between the rhetoric of innovation, architecture and the production of knowledge and labor within contemporary capitalism. His actual fields of interests are related to the question of domestic education (childhood education), mass-education (lifelong learning), and how these aspects had always had a tangible effect in the production of architecture forms and typologies globally, from the house to the university campus.
From August 2020 he is collaborating with Professor Roberto Gargiani (LTH3) at ENAC-EPFL, as a scientific collaborator and assistant for the course Superstudio.
In January 2020 he concluded a Pon-Ri Industrial-Innovative PhD thesis entitled New Forms of Dwelling Collective. Dwelling within and beyond the city of cognitive capitalism within the Consortium Doctoral School (Architecture: Innovation and Heritage), Politecnico di Bari and Roma Tre, XXXII Cycle. His PhD tutor was Professor Carlo Moccia and co-tutors were Professor Martino Tattara and Professor Pier Vittorio Aureli. In his PhD thesis, Korbi assumed as a specific subject the contemporary ‘knowledge worker’ and his ways of living, as a student, as a precarious worker, as a white-collar employer and as a freelance, by proposing a series of prototypes of collective dwellings for these different life/working/education conditions. His PhD thesis illustrates a short genealogy of the knowledge workers in relation to the collective dwelling history from the student’s life in Medieval University Colleges, and American Jeffersonian Campuses, to the white-collar worker of Residential Hotels in the 1910s-20s in Manhattan, to the generic worker (students/intellectual/factory-worker) during the Soviet Dom-Kommuna era in 1925-30, to today.
From January 2019, he is part of Collective Concrete—CNCRT, a group of 12 precarious architects based all around Europe exploring new forms of spaces and alternative forms of cooperation in today’s architecture precarious labor. Their design and theoretical work is strongly focused on the topic of collectivity, cooperation and on the design of spaces for alternative forms of communal organization of life, labor and production, against the rhetorical of co-working, against the architecture-office-model and towards a reinvention of architecture labor as a total-form-of-pleasure.
In 2018, he has collaborated with studio Dogma (Brussels) of Martino Tattara and Pier Vittorio Aureli in the research concluded with the publication of the book Loveless: The Minimum Dwelling and its Discontent, for the exhibition “Home Future” – London Design Museum (2018-19).
As a practitioner architect, he has worked in many projects in Albania. In 2016, he has collaborated with office SON-Group, Architecture and Engineering, based in Tirana. Korbi has been part of the project for the General Local Plan of Tirana. He has done an internship with IMK (Institute of Culture Monuments), for the Ministry of Culture Tirana, and has taken part in many exhibitions and publications in Albania.
He has participated in many Seminars and public speeches; he has also been invited to present his research at the École d’Architecture de Versailles (February 2020).

MICHELE MONTEMURRO graduated in Architecture in 1989 at IUAV of Venice.
He won a CNR scholarship in 1993 and become PhD in architectural and urban design in 2000.
From 2004 is professor in the Polytechnic of University Bari and teaches architectural and urban design.
He has developed and consolidated his scientific knowledge and design skills in the scientific disciplinary sector of architectural and urban composition (ICAR/14). From 2016 he qualified as Second Level University Professor, Competition Section 08 / D1-Architectural Design.
The cultural and methodological approach that characterizes its institutional academic activity has always sought to combine research and education, orienting them towards the themes and problems of the building, the city and the landscape, with particular reference to the geographical-cultural area of the Mediterranean, addressing theoretical issues within an interscalary dimension. This approach has favored the constant transfer of knowledge from research to teaching and the updating of its disciplinary contents with respect to contemporary problems. The didactic experience conducted at all levels of training was considered as an opportunity to verify, through experimentation, the validity of the hypotheses assumed in the research, according to a scientific approach, identifying the most appropriate methodologies with respect to the training objectives.
His theoretical reflection is oriented to the following related themes:
– relationship between “type” and architecture;
– relationship between “type” and form of the city;
– relationship between construction and architecture;
– relationship between city and “nature”;
– relationship between the “new” and the “ancient”.
Each of these themes is tackled and applied to the case studies and applications from time to time, as well as to the opportunities offered by teaching and research and design experimentation opportunities.
The concept of building type, as a logical structure of form, is taken as an interpretative, cognitive and conceptual category of architecture on all scales, from the building to the city.
At the scale of the building the research on the constitutive grammars of the architectural organism and its spaces, from the complex to the simple ones such as the single-family house, focuses on fundamental questions such as those that link the variations of the forms of architecture to those of of nature.
At the scale of the city, the concept of building type can assume, for example, a significant value in the definition of new forms of dwelling as well as in the foundation of “new” types corresponding to complex morphological themes that the contemporary city poses: density and form of emptiness, continuity and discontinuity, nature and urban space.
The relationship between architecture and construction has been for many years a distinctive theme of the “school” of Bari and a conceptual principle often at the base of research and teaching activities. It constitutes a fundamental but evolving line of research, with the constant aim of identifying a relationship of necessity and meaning between the technical form, to which is attributed an intrinsic “expressiveness”, and the architectural form, in relation to the character that it it must have and to that of the spaces it is called to define.
In this perspective, the choice of construction systems, techniques and materials, transversally investigated throughout the research, is mainly linked to this objective, always assuming an evolutionary and innovative posture with respect to the building traditions of the places.
The relationship between city and nature constitutes an important interpretative “key” with which one looks both at the city of the past (synchronic models) and at that of our time. It is investigated under a double aspect: on the one hand we assume the open and empty spaces of nature as places of relationship between elements or parts of cities, considering nature itself as a context of urban construction; on the other hand the role of catalysts of the urban form is attributed to the physical forms of geography.
n both aspects, considered complementary, nature assumes the value of a syntactic “structure”, that is, a structure capable of suggesting significant spatial and formal relationships.
The search for the forms of the city of our time, as well as the re-construction of the shape of the existing city (the “structured” one of the city of the past and the “unfinished” of the suburbs of the contemporary city), constitute the goal of these studies, who see in the renewed relationship with nature, with its empty spaces and with its physical forms, new opportunities for its re-foundation.
The relationship between the form of architecture and the shapes of the geographical elements of the territory with particular attention to the sense that the limit between city and nature in the internal and rocky territories, and between land and sea in the coastal territories, assumes from time to time, constitutes a field of research and formal experimentation at the scale of the territory and landscape that implies the knowledge of the field of architectural relations with its surroundings and the definition of the appropriate grammars able to guide the interventions of transformation / modification of the territory.
Finally, the relationship between the “new” and the “ancient”, central to the current debate on the issues of safeguarding and enhancing cultural heritage, is investigated from a design point of view that, while respecting the memory value of ruin ( from the archaeological to the industrial one), it does not renounce to measure itself with its evocative power, with the virtuality that its incompleteness and indeterminacy express and with its willingness to be of new architecture endowed with complete form.
In particular, the theme of construction/reconstruction in lands hit by disastrous natural events, the choice of “mending the wounds” of affected and interrupted cities, is based on the opportunity to transform provisional infrastructural and engineering interventions into architectural tools for building the city and its spaces, using memory as an active and proactive matter to reconstruct the immaterial aspects of reality starting from the physical and cultural rooting of its own territory.
The reflection on these themes – and on those that derive from them – is conducted with an approach based on the centrality of form in architecture, that is with a “morphological” approach aimed at recognizing or defining relationships of meaning that only the form knows how to construct and make posters.
The results of this reflection, which involves teaching activities, scientific research and design experimentation of the candidate, are documented in his numerous publications and disseminated through his participation in congresses, symposia, seminars and architecture workshops.
Some of these researches have then become the scientific basis for design activities applied to the territory (Kukes-Diber Plan, CoHen Project, Adrion, Interreg, IPA projects, etc.) that have produced experimental application results or that have seen the candidate as promoter or coordinator of international working groups.
