As part of the research project Renewal of Urban Renewal the master specialisation Hybrid Build-ings2 launched several Design Research Graduation Studios proposing as main theme of investigation the role of architecture in contemporary urban renewal.

In November 2013 the Faculty of Architecture of Delft University of Technology hosted the exhibition Dogma: 11 projects + 1, which presented the first decade of research projects produced by the Rotterdam and now Brussels based architectural office led by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara. The exhibition was originally held in the beginning of 2013 at the Architectural Association in London and accompanied by the publication of a catalogue that included texts by the authors, an introduction by Brett Steel and a critical essay by the Italian scholar Gabriele Mastrigli.

Understood as a conceptual tool for the management of information, layers are ubiquitous in our days. In computer graphics, they are a standard, basic feature: image editors for still or motion pictures, computerassisted drawing (CAD) programs, and of course geospatial information systems (GIS) – as well as most of their useroriented applications –, all of them use layers in one way or another, often in so essential a manner that they constitute their very raison d’être.
