Archilectures | Laurent Salomon, Quattro progetti per una costruzione teorica

Four Projects for a Theoretical Construction. During the production of a work, some projects allow to reflect on theoretical questions and they provide a guide for its evolutions. Through several topics covered by the architecture firm Rotbart & Salomon, the open lecture will try to point out these privileged moments, where the meaning of the work finds new orientations and contributes to create a metamorphical architectural writing.
