Pensare attraverso la forma. Tra didattica e ricerca al Politecnico di Bari
Interrogandoci sui valori che informano il nostro cammino, nella pratica e nell’insegnamento dell’architettura, emerge una questione cruciale, se non fondativa, per il nostro stesso agire, che impone la necessità di collocarsi, di prendere posizione. Qual è, oggi, il ruolo riconosciuto all’architettura? Quali sono i modi e i valori della sua esistenza? Domande difficili e forse…
