Andrea Boeri, Luca Molinari
A Dialogue on the Spaces (and the Things) We Inhabit
Stefano Boeri and Luca Molinari discuss architecture, urban planning, design, spaces and habitats. A dialogue that puts together two voices that this year have contributed to thinking, planning, innovating the spaces we move in. What is a project, how has its form changed, how has its way of imagining and offering substance to the world changed? How have our living quarters changed in recent years? And can the urban spaces we inhabit have an ethical, moral, and participatory function, and truly be shared by a community? The dialogue between Boeri and Molinari describes new urban locations and seeks to be the starting point for bringing our way of inhabiting the world back to the centre of the project.
