In many contemporary university cities, the growing number of students is putting increasing pressure on existing study facilities. Research on this topic has so far focused mainly on formal campuses and the effects of university students’ presence in cities, while little attention has been paid to how cities should organize themselves to guarantee students’ “right to study”. This issue concerns not only housing solutions, but also the spaces where students spend their everyday lives, particularly those dedicated to study. This thesis examines the role of temporary urbanism in responding to these gaps, using the Campus Diffuso initiative in Turin as a case study of a distributed network of study spaces.
