This volume shows the results of the architectural design workshop “Cinque Progetti per il Lungomare di Levante” held by prof. Uwe Schröder (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule, RWTH Aachen University) in the classes of professors Emanuele Fidone, Vito Martelliano and Bruno Messina at Università degli Studi di Catania, SDS Siracusa - DICAR. It presents a method of understanding and representing the spatiality of the city as prerequisite to urban design. The five projects confront themselves with the area of Ortygia north-eastern seaside, interpreting the relationships between the inner spaces of the town and the outer open spaces of the sea.
