AN ITALIAN (ARCHITECT) IN... VIRTUAL TOUR

Posted by: Giulia Guerra, Matrix4Design

A live streaming virtual world tour to discover the most important architecture firms in the world, led by the Italians who founded them or work there: ready to go? A Matrix4Design project that Superstudio is happy to support in search of often inaccessible places and personal stories about Italian creativity abroad.

A world tour to discover the most prestigious international studios, led by Italian architects who have built their future abroad. In 2021 Matrix4Design presents An Italian (architect) in..., the digital tour which from France to Denmark, from Norway to the United States, from Spain to Australia opens the doors to global architecture's driving forces.
Each stage of the tour will be dedicated to a large international architectural firm, where an Italian architect, founder of the studio or full member of the team working there, will be as a guide among desks and ideas behind the most famous projects, to catch their success secrets.
The first five events will take place from February to June 2021 and will be held in Oslo, Norway, with Tommaso Maserati, architect at Snøhetta studio; Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with Giacomo Graziano, founder of GG-loop studio; Copenhagen, Denmark, with Enea Michelesio, architect at BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group studio; New York, USA, with Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano, founders of LOT-EK studio; Paris, France, with Ivana Barbarito, founder of Barbarito Bancel studio. During the second half of the year, the journey will continue in other major international cities: Barcelona, Sydney, Tokyo, Stockholm and London.
The series of meetings, carried out in partnership with Superstudio Group and made possible by the contribution of sponsor companies representing the Italian design excellence, is aimed at an audience of highly qualified architects, designers and project professionals who wish to broaden their perspective on new architectural horizons, going beyond national boundaries but keeping a “Made in Italy” point of view.
The appointments, which will be presented by the journalist Laura Ragazzola, will take place monthly on GoToWebinar online platform; the first, which will feature architect Tommaso Maserati of Snøhetta studio, is set for Wednesday February 24th at 2.30 pm.
