SPOT ON SCHOOLS
Architecture Schools and Media
When: 01 December, 2005
Where: Stazione Leopolda - Florence
What: Exhibition
Fabrica will participate with the project “A Perfect Weekend” (www.aperfectweekend.org) in SPOT ON SCHOOLS, an exhibition taking place from December 1st to 11th at Stazione Leopolda in Florence presenting the works produced by 17 of the most outstanding schools of architecture and design in the world that explore the influence new technologies have on the various phases of a design, starting from the very act of creative conception.
With SPOT ON SCHOOLS a more structured mode of investigation has been established, that also aims at turning this Florence venue into a place for a constructive dialogue, where the various positions expressed by the participating schools are discussed and divulged. To this purpose, a significant part of the SPOT ON SCHOOLS program are the SPECIAL LECTURES offered by some of the participating instructors, which will be held at the Stazione Leopolda in the week of December 5th-12th. Upon this exchange platform the exhibit can further pursue its activity of connection, enhancement and divulgation of the most significant didactic experiences.
