Conversations on Architecture. Swiss Talks. About and Beyond / Conversazioni sullâarchitettura. Swiss Talks. Intorno e oltre
Istituto Svizzero is pleased to present the book âConversations on Architecture. Swiss Talks. About and Beyondâ, published in collaboration with the Caryatide publishing house, with scientific curatorship by Francesca Chiorino and Federico Tranfa.
The book documents the Swiss Talks organized by Istituto Svizzero, focused on architectural relationships between Switzerland and Italy, and organized in collaboration with Casabella Formazione, curated and led by Federico Tranfa from 2017 to 2022, and by Francesca Chiorino since 2023.
âConversations on Architecture. Swiss Talks. About and Beyondâ was created with the aim of presenting a significant fragment of the Swiss Talks cultural project, which, since 2017, has promoted Swiss architectural culture in Italy by organizing public meetings in Milan, Rome, Palermo, and Venice.
The presentation will be moderated by Mariana Siracusa, an Argentine scholar based in Milan. She is the founder of SPAZIO, an independent bookstore and gallery dedicated to architecture, urban design, landscape, social ecology, and other disciplines that deal with spatial practices.
