Abstract

The lecture series "turning points" follows the paths of the modern movement in Architecture by revealing the roots in history while tracing its development up to the present.

Content

This series of lectures is intended to identify fundamental aspects and theses of architecture, urban space and landscape, and to intensify consideration of them. Architecture, understood to mean the art of building, represents the technical, the sciences and the liberal arts, as well as the world of art. It builds its own history and, through the interrogation of its own origins, legitimates itself in a present which, in the absence of related questions about the future, seems devoid of meaning. The lectures mediate between theory and practice, and are understood as a compliment to the design seminars.
