Descrizione del progetto

This project will carry forth the Italian tradition of social activism born in Rome during the 1960s, culminating in the design and construction of an installation that celebrates activist architecture and the fortieth anniversary of the Battle of Valle Giulia. The undertaking will necessarily be a collaborative one, engaging students, faculty, practitioners, and Fellows of the Academy. The installation will open with a one-day symposium uniting the aforementioned parties with politicians, civic leaders, and other thinkers from Rome and elsewhere.
