The book highlights the most significant educational experiences gained throughout the International Master of Science "Design for the Built Environment" (DBE) programme, fully taught in English. The DBE course (LM-12 class), began in the in the 2016-17 academic year, is actually one of the most creative educational programs given by the Department of Architecture at the University of Naples "Federico II."

Along with projects and educational experiments described in their formative and methodological processes through drawings, schemes, diagrams, and images, the book presents theoretical and critical texts, elaborated by the teachers who have worked in these years to consolidate the M.Sc. course, in order to trace the cultural lines and methodological processes of a shared formative experience in its objectives and content aspects since its foundation.

As a result, the book provides for a preliminary, if restricted, comparison between the theoretical and cultural premises and the project outputs contained in the products of the curricular workshops and the finest theses developed throughout these years.
