CYCLE: Ideas and Figures. Stories of innovative strategies for architecture
SPEAKER: Fabrizio Barozzi
DATE: Thursday 8 January, 6 pm

The essential character of a place is often found in certain unexpressed conditions—fragments, spaces, materials, atmospheres—that can be taken, transformed, and translated into new architectures that preserve and enhance the identity of both the architecture and the place. Through the narration of a series of projects by the Barozzi Veiga studio, the talk will reflect on the ability of contemporary architecture to engage with historical heritage, generating new public narratives.

Fabrizio Barozzi, Italian architect born in Rovereto in 1976, lives and works in Barcelona, where he leads the Barozzi Veiga studio. In 2024, after studying architecture in Venice, Seville, and Paris, he co-founded the studio with architect Alberto Veiga, focusing on public and cultural projects. His work has received international recognition, such as the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2015 for the Szczecin Philharmonic, and other works including the Museum of Fine Arts in Chur, the Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne, and the Museum of Art in Kortrijk. He has received numerous awards, including the RIBA Award in 2018 and the President of the Republic Prize in 2020, and has participated in major exhibitions and biennials worldwide. His work, characterized by a focus on contemporary architecture and historical continuity, has been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and published in numerous monographs.
