We were delighted to be joined by Dr. Nikos Katsikis for a design workshop on the territorial common project of Urban Agroecology in Uetliberg. The workshop centred around the collaboration of all the students in bringing together all five sites of the semester and envisioning a common map which would illustrate their complete vision for Agroecology in the city of Zürich with a focus on Uetliberg.

His research investigates the spatial dimensions of urban metabolism and seeks to develop alternative models for their socially and ecologically just reconfigurations. He is currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Urbanism, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands affiliated researcher at Urban Theory Lab, University of Chicago.
