The Colosseum The Pantheon The Roman Forum
The Trevi Fountain
Vatican City & St. Peter’s BasilicaThe visit gave students a direct experience of the relationship between architecture, history, religion, public life, and urban identity.
The team also visited the renowned Schiattarella Associati architecture office, where Amedeo Schiattarella and Andrea Schiattarella warmly welcomed our delegation.
Students presented their projects in digital fabrication, smart architecture, and the award-winning Abbas Bazar regeneration project in Port Said. The visit opened exciting opportunities for future collaboration and internships.
