Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The subject is aimed at gaining insight into the assessment of the requirements of the "liquid modernity" of the present and it is appropriate to revive the classical archi-tectonic view that says it is a resilience of quality architecture and urbanism to the demands of change. improving the position of architecture in society would be a method that would not lead to unexpected twists and turns transmitted from political overreactions.
