## Summary

University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Liminal Lab was conceived. Its MIT-Italy Program (MISTI) financed Liminal’s field Challenges, and its Department of Architecture, Urban Risk Lab and Digital Structures group were operative partners of Rebuilding the Edge (2022).

## Work

MIT-Italy, part of MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI), has financed several Liminal field seasons, from Rebuilding the Edge to Encouraging Reuse: students and researchers work on the ground with local institutions, then leave methods behind. Departments of the School of Architecture and Planning awarded the grants and travel awards of 2019–2021 listed among Liminal’s grants.
