WHY?

They said about us:

“I was lucky to be one of the student participants of this summer school (Laboratory of Places 2017 Ghesc and surroundings. VI Edition). Sincerely, it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. At first I was a little reluctant to travel that far (I’m from Spain), worse, I was the only non-italian speaker that year. All my fears vanished the first day: the place was awesome and the teachers and the house staff were so willing to help out. It was a relief to know that they all speak fluent English and, moreover, all lessons/questions/answers were in English. My schoolmates also used English as their main language, even during meals and spare time (for that I’m truly grateful). […] Our day routine was really intense and cramped: from early morning until late night we were learning, working and developing our new abilities. 10% of the time were lessons (sometimes indoors, sometimes on-site) while 90% were practical activities (field work at Ghesc village, desk job and even outings). What made this summer school worth every penny were the tech-savvy and charming teachers (check their publications, they are enrolled in very interesting research projects). Also, they taught in a direct and easy to understand way, no time for filler! Most of what I’ve learned I am currently using it at work and the rest (printed materials, final renders, etc) I keep them with love.
I wanted to write my experience to encourage the undecided to join this summer school. This is more than a greatly useful workshop, this is part of a very needed movement. The perfect mixture between getting your hands on the latest surveying technologies and the preservation of our architectural heritage. Don’t hesitate, what I learned was priceless.”

Eduardo Acosta, 2017 edition

“I participated to the summer school “Laboratory of Places” edition 2017. It was a wonderful, stimulating and high learning experience. The tutors are competents and always available to deepen the topics identifyed ah hoc according to the personal interests. The 10 days were intense and made of hard-work. We had the occasion to see and use new tools and technologies in the field of 3D survey, all in a beautiful location. Highly recommended!”

Cecilia Ortonovi, 2017 Edition

 

“[…] An amazing experience, a lot of hard work, climbing, but also a lot of fun and satisfations! The effort is worthed as you have the possibility to work on the techniques that you don’t learn at University and to see technologies just launched on the market! Highly recommended to everybody!”

 

Simone Teruggi, 2017 Edition

It was an amazing experience sharing with students, professors, and professionals this Laboratory. We deepen the latest techniques of the advanced survey field, obtaining exstraordinary results! The Lab represented for me a turning point in my university career, adding to my experience an important training piece, which is necessary today in different fields. I thank all the team for its effort! Bravi!
