Life in Paestum today unfolds between the two poles of tourism and agriculture.

In the design studio where we taught at Politecnico di Milano, students work on light architecture for contemporary life in nowadays Paestum. The students worked on a variety of projects, including a canopy in the archeological area and a cheese factory on the city ancient wall.
