All’interno del tragitto tra teoria e prassi viene trattato il tema dello spazio architettonico e urbano nella città contemporanea a partire da un’esperienza di formazione dell’autore presso lo studio del Premio Pritzker brasiliano Paulo Mendes da Rocha, una delle figure più interessanti ed enigmatiche del panorama architettonico internazionale attuale. All’esperienza pratica si innesta un ricco apparato di ...

Il nostro tempo ci pone davanti ad un interrogativo che ci invita a pensare se siamo ancora in grado, come lo siamo stati in passato, di condividere con chi è Altro da noi, per cultura e religione, lo spazio del nostro abitare.
