Archicura against the crisis / Attraversamenti – Biennale Diffusa di Architettura Contemporanea (Widespread Biennale of Contemporary Architecture)

“Opens today, September 24th 2009, the third edition ATTRAVERSAMENTI, Biennale diffusa di architettura contemporanea (Widespread Biennale of Contemporary Architecture), in between Trevi, Castel Ritaldi, Foligno, Spello and Spoleto.
The theme of the biennial starts from the cue that in contemporary society we have been accustomed to consider the states of «normal» as separate from the ones of «emergency» and crisis. The reason is certainly to be sought in a set of factors that have produced growth and well-being, creating «normal» conditions longer and longer over time, so that they were able to bring up the «emergencies» such as accidents along the way. The reality is very different; emergency today is a constant in our culture and the changes taking place in today’s society, paradoxically triggered by the development, lead the community to deal with new categories of thought. With these assumptions opens ATTRAVERSAMENTI, the third edition of the Biennale of contemporary architecture spread in the landscape, offer as a theme CRISIS and ARCHITECTURE AS A WAY TO OVERCOME THE STATE OF EMERGENCY.
(…)Attraversamenti 09 will propose a rich platform for discussion and dialogue: on one hand it will be presented the «problem of the crisis», with questions and unusual looks on the world of architecture, and on the other it will show a range of project responding to these issues from Italian architects, such as: ARCHICURA, Atelier of Vegetables, Baukuh, Emilio Caravatti, CZ study, Andrea Dragoni, 2A + P / A, 2T_R architecture, 2xLRM, FAREstudio, HVA, LDA.iMdA, michielizanatta.net,
