The 2009 Rome Architecture festival which aims to assist people in understanding the change taking place to our cities and how that change will influence our lives will be inaugurated on September 8.
Paolo Soleri´s lectio magistralis on La frugalità elegante will start the festival at 4pm, while the much awaited exhibition Cities, Places visionaires – curated by Camilla Boemio will open its doors to the public some 2 hours later.
The exhibition will feature works by some famous cityscape photographers such as Gabriele Basilico, Damir Ocko, Dmitry Gutov, Marco Zanta, Michael Wolf, Peter Schloer and Shaun Gladwell.
Then on October 3 another important event called Rome Nome Plurale di Città will be held at the Casa dell´Architettura.
It is anticipated that many eminent architects will attend this event.
