Why Rome and Barcelona? These are the two cities I have most recently lived in. The aim of the junxtaposition of Rome and Barcelona is the comparison of my running tracks.

Running (as one of my main free-time activities) defines where I choose to live in the city. My preferences in both examples include most avowedly the proximity to water / river, sea/

The places named HOME mark my starting point for running. In case of Barcelona, my track evolves around school/ beach/ supermarked which also gives an idea about my location priorities.
The running distances are comparable.

The investigated issue is tackling one of the research areas for this semester’s Self Sufficient Studio design project- methane emission, one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases.

The subject of the study is Siberia because I believe it to provide an extreme phenomena of methane emission due to the permafrost.
The investigated region is precisely Siberian Federal Districts, consisting of 12 Federal Subjects, each one being a representative unit for the data measurement.

ARCTIC METHANE RELEASE
Permafrost can store methane, thus its thawing can exacerbate global warming by releasing methane and other hydrocarbons, which are powerful greenhouse gases. The potential methane release is dependent on the area of the permafrost, therefore the study aims to outline that relationship.
