1996
Urban Anatomy Course in Akko (Acre)

Tutor: Arch. Salomon Moshe

During this 'Urban Anatomy' course in the old city of Acre, in the summer of 1996 
students were requested to survey a place during the two weeks of the field trip,  registering their impressions of the place -by hand - measuring, drawing, without cameras or other mechanical devices.

The course rationale is that architecture being a built entity, it should be studied in site. The prolonged stay in a fixed place allowed the students to learn that the feeling of a place includes many un-built ingredients -sounds, moist, wind, sun, smells, ageing, plants, cracks, heat and cold, people.
