LECTURE: CITY AS ORGANISM BY GIORGIO PINI

04 Dec 18

YARAT Contemporary Art Space invites you to the architectural lecture devoted to the topic of “City as organism”. This topic will be described by Giorgio Pini Principal Architect and founder of DRA&U and general director and director of new technology development of DRA&U Jonathan Arbib.

"Cities change and it is impossible to stop this process because the city is an organism and as such over time, inevitably, changes" (cit. Rem Koolhaas). In this scenario we need to comprehend the important role of architecture as a timely but often inconvenient response to the communication challenges between the urban planning and contemporary society.

DRA&U (Digital Research for Architecture and Urbanism) envisions beauty and organisation as a philosophy bringing strength and flexibility as a daily requirement. DRA&U operates currently in a dozen countries that span between Europe, North Africa, Asia and South America.

Language: English with simultaneous translation into Azerbaijani language.
