Next Thursday 27 "Metropol Parasol film" will be exhibited in “City Visions” a screening cycle at the Urban Center Metropolitano in Turin, Italy. The film is part of the 5th screening focused on the theme "Lo spazio vivo" (The living space).
The programme “City Visions”, created by Image ARCHIVE for the Urban Center Metropolitano proposes a series of six thematic pathways through the videos that the multimedia archive of architecture has collected and selected in the last few years. Each theme is connected to a different way of reading the city, ranging from the private space story to the metropolitan scale tale and it involves the visions and projects of some of the most brilliant architects of our time. Image ARCHIVE operates around architectural culture when it is represented through the use of the video and it encourages the research of new ideas promoting new points of view about contemporary design.
