Valentina Andriulli + Antonia De Angelis Rome: a love story In a bar, two old friends (the Foreigner and the Local) meet up, and they start an interesting conversation… The Foreigner: Rome, the eternal city… The Local: Rome the eternal city ? The city as you imagine it, my friend, does not exist anymore
2ND PLACE – ROME CITYVISION COMPETITION
Janghwan Cheon + Nay Soe + Matthew Conway + Felipe Colin ‘Rome City Vision’ offers the opportunity to re-conceptualize the relationship between landscape, urban design, and architecture in the context of a historically complex and dynamic city environment. Our proposal creates an integrated urban vision whereby programs, spaces, and typologies are interwoven as a way...

Andrea Cassi + Massimiliano Marian Rome is the city of illusions, it is not a chance that the Church, Government, and Cinema, all things that produce illusion, as you do and as we do, are here.

NUOVO PALAZZO DELLA PROVINCIA DI BOLZANO – OFL ARCHITECTURE + RABATANALAB
The OFL Architecture + Rabatanalab concept for the new building of the Province of Bolzano, born from a sculpture idea generated by the desire to establish continuity with the past of the city of Bolzano, is seen as a re-construction of memories, spirit of places and iconological transposition of the symbols of history of the ...
ARCHICOUTURE
text by Maria Azzurra Rossi The first crucial step in approaching two seemingly unrelated professions such as architecture and fashion is to understand that the basis of the works of both types of designers is the general concept of creation and the production of a craft.
INTERIOR TV
text by Francesca Romana Moretti In an unusual experiment, we can look at TV series as “archives” of the era in which they were produced. Every show tells a story in its own way about the world, the people and the habits of a particular time. They can help us understand how people lived, what their houses were like, and through...
CHROMA.TEX ME – SOFTLAB
text by Maria Azzurra Rossi Have you ever been in a tunnel, a real one in which you cannot even perceive the space, let alone the end? I am not talking about the subway, nor an underground passage or gallery, not even of the influence of drugs, but simply of that space which creates curiosity and fear.

RGB WALLPAPER – CARNOVSKY
text by Maria Azzurra Rossi Observing the world around us doesn’t evoke positive feelings. Many times you think that something has changed, but it has not. As a result, our imaginations lead us to unexplored worlds, up in the clouds, lost in the universe or stranded in the depths of the ocean. The power of nature and its forms are overwhelming. Artistic expression is...

text by Francesco Gatti Here I am, supposed to write 2000 characters about videogames and architecture…mmm…today in fact I feel like I want physical contact instead, maybe hot and wet. I don’t know if I could deal with the theme of videogames in my current state. We are kept glued to our screens by separating our wonderful bodies from each other...
NULLUS LOCUS SINE GENIO
text by Adriano Dominici Writing something that might inspire a reflection on the artistic dialogue between music and architecture is a task that I would have willingly renounced. Speaking of art, and even worse, of artistic mash up is a bit like masturbation: when you’re done you always feel like a testicle. But I could not waste this intuition of referring...
BONJOUR TRISTESSE
The truth is that architecture is not a private matter, last night some kids told me about “social architecture”. “It’s a tautology” I thought; how does the architecture not to be social? It’s everywhere, for everyone, always in the middle, so pervasive, its ugliness, its beauty, its being there.
White Noise / Na3 – Nicola Auciello
“Designing with poetry, building thanks to ideas and emotions’ power. The matter, whatever it is, is decidous and vulnerable, emotions are not. They are and remain, undestructable!”
IMAGINARY CITIES
The cinema has increased the quantity and quality of all possible worlds, imagined spaces in which make us want more or less to live.
