Architecture, intended as a method of exploration, intervention and knowledge, will be at the centre of each of the three days that encompass both the speculative and theoretical dimension, in keeping with the tradition of the international encounters that established modern and contemporary architectural history.
Si apre domani a St. Nazaire ARCHILiFE 010, una tre giorni densa di incontri, discussioni e dibattiti che vedrà partecipare figure di spicco provenienti da contesti differenti, ma che condividono un’ottica comune di ripensamento delle pratiche architettoniche nel mondo attuale. L’architettura, intesa come metodo di indagine, intervento e conoscenza, sarà al centro di ciascuna delle tre giornate che comprenderanno la dimensione speculativa e teorica, in risonanza con la tradizione degli incontri internazionali che ha fondato la storia moderna e contemporanea dell’architettura.
