  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">In 1996, the newly founded Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio invited Peter Zumthor to be the professor in charge  of one of the school’s first three design studios. What took form from that was a singular educational experience,  conducted by Zumthor as a didactic project spanning a three-year period - the academic years of 1996-97, 1997-98  and 1998-99 - and comprehending a sequence of 19 exercises designed to teach students the foundations of  composition. The thesis is structured around this event, documenting the activity of Atelier Zumthor’s first-year course  in Mendrisio through the analysis of unpublished material kept in the school’s archives and investigating how the  concepts of memory, construction and performance - extracted from the critical reading of Zumthor’s didactics - may  be taken as compositional principles found at the base of his architecture, therefore offering an unique interpretation  of his production and stressing the value of teaching as a space of research.</dc:description>
