Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia AF517

Alfonso Femia stated, "In a historical dimension in which the answer and the axiom are prevailing communicative models, we foreground the "questions" that start from the making of architecture, and that transform it into a "cultural activator", a radically different meaning from "cultural producer".
 Last but not least, and particularly for the La Biennale dello Stretto project, cultural accessibility, a crucial lever for engaging people outside the professional community, has been revealed to be crucial."

In the context of Genoa BeDesign Week, Alfonso Femia has proposed the theme “Art City Territories: culture as the fulcrum of urban regeneration”, an innovative field of design investigation that expands and updates the vision of architecture as a lever of urban and social development. La Biennale dello Stretto and other experiences were presented during the event.
Among those participating in the discussion: Pierluigi Feltri, FOA board member; Paolo Verri, cultural manager and urban development expert director of the Arnoldo and Alberto Mondadori Foundation; and Francesco Berti Riboli, vice president of Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura.
Moderating the event: Massimiliano Lussana, director of La Puntina.
