In "Triangles", Piovenefabi ask themselves the following questions: Where does one end and the other begin? How do culture and context influence the project? How can you work with the notion of scale? In the lecture, the founders of PIOVENEFABI will speak about how they approach urban projects from large scale to 1/1. The title “Triangles” refers to the way in which projects are related to each other through families, analogies and similarities, and how ambiguity is handled in urban design, architecture projects and object design.
