The contemporary city is made of a cultural and historical Legacy – that has been handed over in years, without being modified – and Manifesti which are vehicles of new thoughts and strategies.
Ideas, styles and trends overlap each other within the society, influencing our lives in many ways. City cannot escape from these dynamics, thus outlining a complex and various scenario.
STUDIO#09 – BEYOND wants to investigate how the cities of future might be, by analyzing those situations that characterize our present.
What are the concepts and dynamics that should be carried forward? Which ones should be reinvented? What new MANIFESTI are the basis for the future? What are the possible “BEYOND” for a new urban context?
