Arrangement av Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Oslo - Det italienske kulturinstituttI 2023 kuraterte det Roma-baserte arkitektfirmaet Warehouse of Architecture and Research utstillingen «Roma Novissima. Contemporary Directions of Architectural Design in Rome», som ble vist på «Mattatoio» i Roma.
Nå kommer dette fremadstormende firmaet av unge italienske arkitekter til Oslo og viser utvalgte deler av utstillingen her hos oss!
OM UTSTILLINGEN:
Roma Novissima is an exhibition exploring the city of Rome in cross-section, observing its stratigraphic structure while attempting to map out a potential way forward. It does not look at a city in a pose but at a city in movement.
This exploration, at once specific and wide-ranging, is structured through written work, drawings, photographs, collages, mockups and notes, grouping the complexity of these materials into three sections for debate: HISTORY, OBSERVATORY, MOSAIC.
Through the work of 11 under-40 architects, the curators investigate the contemporary scenario with a critical approach and an optimistic conclusion.
What emerges from Roma Novissima’s title, its layout, its content and, on a broader level, its intent is a desire to link the current debate on architecture to certain peaks of achievement in the ‘seventies and ‘eighties that made their mark on the city of Rome and elsewhere, and that demand a necessary moment of reflection following the recent demise of such masters as Pietro Barucci, Paolo Portoghesi and Piero Sartogo.
“The Nuovissimi aren’t a movement, an –ism, they’re always something unique” (Nanni Balestrini)
