Populating Architecture Week will be national and international guests including Massimiliano Fuksas who will discuss his 'Nuvola' built in Rome, Mario Bellini, Peter Eisenman, Hiancarlo Mazzanti and the US firm Diller, in the person of Elisabeth Dillerone of the architects who gave a new face to contemporary New York by building the High Line, the promenade carved out of an old abandoned railway line and now one of the most touristy spots in the new New York. All events will be open to citizenship, with the main aim of creating an active and interactive exchange. Indeed, the initiative aims at narrating the major changes taking place in the local urban scenario and, at the same time, the probable prospects related to the redevelopment of the territory. An extensive and varied initiative, therefore, in which institutions and various local and national realities will converge.
There will also be thematic sections dedicated to cinema and music as well as a focus on the theme of post-earthquake reconstruction. Finally, there will be guided tours of the studios and historical buildings, as well as workshops and public debates, ending in the evening, after 9 p.m., with main lectures by Italian and international architects in the Salone d'onore of the Triennale and in the Teatro di Burri, located in the Parco Sempione.
