Presentation 01 of 05: Ruxandra-Maria Jotzu

"When I say "I'm an architect", it seems to me that I said everything about myself. My passion for architecture and my interest in art have always accompanied me. I was lucky to grow up in an effervescent and inspired environment, where the boundaries between fields did not exist."

Ruxandra will share her passion for Bad Homburg and the Mathildenhohe in Darmstadt.

"Saint-Petersburg: my hometown, formerly Leningrad. As I remember it after being away from it for 30 years, it is the most European-style city in Russia, and the most romantic, it is located on the 101 islands and is known as ‘the Northern Venice’.

It is the second most important city in Russia, and a city of contrasts: representing beauty, art, architecture in the context of the cruelty and ugliness of its history."

Presentation 03 of 05: Derek Parker

"Tiburon is a charming town in Marin County, California on a peninsula jutting out into San Francisco Bay.

This presentation covers the efforts of a small group of residents to defeat the plans of large-scale developers which would have changed the character of the town."

Presentation 04 of 05: Agnese and Giusi del Nord

"Florence is dreaming...it cherishes in its streets little precious treasures in a path that symbolically unites the past and the present, the flowering of May and the wish of Renaissance for everyone.

In our 'light' walking we will discover the 'Buchette del Vino' (wine windows), and three characteristic 'spring' gardens: the Iris garden, the Rose garden, the Villa Bardini garden. Our guiding thread: purple-violet..."under a blanket of stars..."

Presentation 05 of 05: Kevan Shaw

"In Edinburgh you don’t just travel in space but also in time. A quiet Sunday morning walk can drop you into any of the past 5 centuries. Turning a corner from a modern building, say the Scottish Parliament, you find yourself in a close barely changed since the 17th Century. Turn again and you are in a development from the 1960s carefully set in its near medieval street pattern.

This presentation is designed to aid you in finding your way through time in the history of the city of Edinburgh."
