MASTER EDUCATION BY BUILDINGS TYPOLOGY. Hybrid Buildings are receiving increasing attention in contemporary architectural debates and practices, showing the attempt to escape the traditional but arid binomial form-function by addressing buildings with multiple performances. They combine different programs into a ‘hybrid’ whole and show new ways of organizing space. Therefore, rather than looking for mere programmatic solutions, hybrid buildings offer up to date answers to our way of living, working and entertaining. The scope of the program is to bring up different combinations of types of space, functions and constructive systems in order to create opportunities for alternative social and urban dynamics.
