Finalist 1 - The Great Game

Abstract

The Great Game is a pedagogical experiment carried out in the Laboratory of Architectural Design Theory, taught in the third year of the Bachelor in Architecture at Politecnico di Torino. The primary objective is to prepare students to see architectural design as a social and political tool, and their competence as architects as an open field of practice, where gaining agency within complex socio-political exchanges is as important as coordinating technically sound designs.
