In June, the Department of Engineering and Architecture and Stazione Rogers present ‘Architetture’, a series of three events on design, theory and the city, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of books on architecture as a means of reflecting on design culture. 
The programme, curated by lecturers Thomas Bisiani, Giuseppina Scavuzzo and Adriano Venudo (UniTs), will focus on the works of Aldo Aymonino, Renato Capozzi and Pierluigi Grandinetti.
Among the topics covered during the meetings are the relationship between design and theory, the construction of architectural form, the city as a place of confrontation between permanence and transformation, and the role of architectural composition in contemporary debate.

PROGRAMME

Thursday 4 June
6 pm
Aldo Aymonino
Measured Utopias

Co-organised by: Stazione Rogers, Municipality of Trieste, University of Trieste
The series opens with Aldo Aymonino and his book *Utopie misurate* (Measured Utopias), a reflection on architecture as a practice capable of bringing together imagination and measurement, vision and construction, urban thought and design. 

With: Thomas Bisiani (Stazione Rogers), Eddi Dalla Betta (Municipality of Trieste, Spatial Planning Department), Adriano Venudo (University of Trieste, Department of Engineering and Architecture).

Friday 19 June

Renato Capozzi
On the Origin. Architecture as Archè

Co-organised by: Stazione Rogers and the University of Trieste.
The second event is dedicated to Renato Capozzi and his book On Origin. Architecture as Archè. The book addresses the theme of origin as an inquiry into the foundations of architecture: the principle, order, form, building, and the relationship between architecture and the world.

With: Giuseppina Scavuzzo (University of Trieste, Department of Engineering and Architecture), Luca Taddio, philosopher (University of Udine, Department of Humanities and Cultural Heritage Studies).

Friday 26 June

Pierluigi Grandinetti
The architectural project: forms, theories, tools. The role of architectural composition

Co-organised by: Stazione Rogers and the University of Trieste.
The series concludes with Pierluigi Grandinetti and the book The Architectural Project: Forms, Theories, Tools. The Role of Architectural Composition. The book brings together and systematises a long experience in teaching and theory gained within the Venice School, placing the project at the centre as a cognitive and operational process. The event will be dedicated to architectural composition as a design discipline: a field in which form, theory, geometry, typology, language and detail all contribute to the construction of the building.

With: Giovanni Fraziano (former lecturer in Architectural and Urban Composition at the University of Trieste), Graziella Bloccari (President of the Order of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects and Conservationists of the Province of Trieste).
