Event Details

Francesco Collotti (Graduated from Politecnico di Milano with Giorgio Grassi in 1984) is full professor at DIDA of the Florence University, promoting not only the research on architectural identities, but also involved in the the international programmes of scientific and cultural crossfertilization supported by Unifi. His activity is a link between research, professional work and teaching (all together: learning).  Recently he took part in rebuilding Frankfurt a.M. city center (HausM34 and monumental pergola c/ o For MANTOVARCHITETTURA he presents a lecture entitled “IS THE PAST PROJECT FORMING? – The Dom Römer reconstruction at Frankfurt Main”

Dom Römer: destroyed in 1944 and shabbily rebuilt after the war, the area has been re-demolished in recent years. A call for an architectural competition was issued by the City of Frankfurt (2010), trying to give back to this place an identity and a size. The district was restored on the basis of the old land registry; now reconstructing the houses as they were with an almost obsessive operation of faithful reconstruction (how could it be different?), now entrusting their construction to projects that continually interact with the old without giving up the new. The site plan is old, is the elevation unexpected?

The event will be held in Italian.

The event will be published on the Mantova Campus Youtube channel.
