Workshop Two: “Making Places”

Monday, 18th April 2016, University Roma Tre

Hosted by the University of Rome (Roma Tre) with the support of the British School at Rome (BSR), our second workshop celebrates the exuberant energy and visionary imagination of radical architecture and its influence on other artistic forms. Our invited guest will be the Florentine architect Gian Piero Frassinelli, a key member of Italy’s celebrated radical architecture firm Superstudio (1966-1978). Artist and scholar Jacopo Benci (BSR) will lead the conversation with Frassinelli, and will be joined in discussion by experts from various disciplines, including Prof. Robert Lumley (UCL), whose contribution to Italian cultural history includes important studies of radical art from the Sixties and Seventies.
