UNPLUGGED ITALY ::: ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE IN OSLO
torsdag 28. mai 2009 kl. 17:00 på Nasjonalmuseet – Arkitektur
UNPLUGGED ITALY is a series of Architecture Lectures (at Museum of Architecture and at AHO in Oslo) by Italian architects whose work & offices are not published in the Italian main architectural press (very much involved with international archi-star system). In contrast with the wide presence of architecture publisher houses (probably the highest in all Europe or even in the whole Globe) and with the highest % of Schools of Architecture in Europe, in Italy there is a lack of information about the average of national production/professionality: Italian architects if not of a really “international dimension” are very often forgotten or dismised even before they can express all their potentiality.
Therefore UNPLUGGED ITALY wishes to break the actual situation, promoting abroad a consciousness about what is “going on” in Italy. The project starts in the Spring 2009 in Oslo. The aim is also to make architectural debate not a private discussion among huge personalities, but something can be developed through a widespread and bottom-up dimension.
The selection of the final 9 offices here-in-after presented has been arranged by Gennaro Postiglione, professor at DPA-Politecnico di Milano, starting from a wide group of almost 50 firms. Attention was paid also in presenting Italian geographic and cultural articulation, therefore there are offices coming both from the far North of Italy, like the one from Trento, to the far South, like the one from Siracusa, in Sicily.
The lectures series is monthly scheduled, each time with 3 offices presenting only 3 of their works, introduced by an Italian critic and with a Norwegian discussant responsible for the closing remarks.
From 14.04.2009 to 26.04.2009 all the presented works will be also exhibited at AHO Gallery, in Oslo.
The conferences and the exhibition are promoted by The Italian Cultural Institute in Oslo, in collaboration with DPA-Politecnico di Milano, and with the logistics support of the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo and the AHO-Oslo School of Architecture and Design.
