Pure volumes, minimal or non-existent decoration, primacy of functionality, harnessing new materials: from the Casa del Fascio in Como to the railway station in Florence, the story of an experimental period that, after almost a century and several attempts at damnatio memoriae, remains a tangible presence in Italy.
Open Talks: Architecture is not art
Pavilion 3 - Arena
A conversation between Carsten Holler and Stefano Boeri, moderated by Cecilia Alemani, discussing the fluid lines between art and architecture. What happens when these two disciplines cross-contaminate? How often do contemporary artists harness architectural tools, sometimes playfully infiltrating a field that is not their own? What are the dynamics between these two spheres? This discussion starts with the work of the artists involved and explores the affinities and differences between the two disciplines.
