Lecture at the Academy of Architecture. Mendrisio, CH

Invited by OSA:  “ an association of students which wishes for multiple opinions. OSA is a tool through which the students open a debate on architecture in its widest form. During the current semester OSA will take into account the issue of RESISTANCE. To talk about Resistance in architecture one has to be aware of the following fact: there is not a singular way in which architecture resists. In first place it has to resist itself. In the era of spectacle and acceleration, what are the threats of an architect? Does the architect resist? What does the architect resist to? What does it mean to resist? The following pamphlet does not dare to answer these questions; we see this as a starting point, a stream of consciousness of the redaction, an introduction to the issues we would like to face with our guests. “
