> Visit upon request at the reception of the Teatro dell'architettura Mendrisio.
This exhibition’s primary aim is to display of the work produced collectively by the students and he professors of the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture during the last academic year 2023-2024. By using the spaces of this upper gallery of the Teatro dell’architettura, the purpose is to bring a wide public closer the whole range of subjects taught and activities conducted on the USI campus in Mendrisio, all aimed at training new generations of architects with an original educational imprint and through the transmission of a knowledge of the discipline. This innovative and experimental project is inherited from the founders of the Mendrisio school, skilfully developed beginning in 1996, the year of the Academy of Architecture’s foundation.
The exhibition begins with a presentation of the design studios and the courses of visual design of the Bachelor's first year and continues with a display of the teaching activities of the following years at Bachelor's and Master's level, organised by different educational areas and sections, together with a series of interviews conducted with some students, assistants and teachers to represent the wide and varied community that animates the campus of the Mendrisio school. The exhibition is the result of the collective work of students, assistants, professors and collaborators of the USI Academy of Architecture.
