Lecture by Mauro Baracco: The Italian Retreat From Modernism
Lecture by Mauro Baracco: The Italian Retreat From Modernism
built form and street to inform the travelling studio ‘Sharing Ground: Prato and the Bisenzio” at the Monash Prato campus. This lecture will situate the context of Italian Architecture with its hyper local tradition characterised by its ‘Retreat from Modernism.”
This lecture has been developed over more than 20 years through the RMIT History of the 20th Century programme (with Peter Corrigan and Conrad Hamann) shaped by changing concepts of history and the cannon. It is an ongoing research that is reconsidering a thread of 20th Century architecture whose trajectory brings us to reimaging architecture through ecosystem principles and the forthcoming Actar publication ‘Loose Space’.
All are welcome.
