RISD at Beyond Media 2009 in VeniceBeginning this week, the RISD Architecture department will be featured in the Beyond Media international festival, an event dedicated to the most current visions on contemporary architecture.
The exhibition takes place at The Stazione Leopolda in Florence, Italy, through 17 July.
The 2009 edition of the Beyond Media festival includes two exhibitions: Spot On Schools, an exploration, on an international basis, of state-of-the-art and cutting edge researches on the influence of the new media on the discipline of architecture; and Urban Visions, an exhibition dedicated to projects of urban transformation.
The third edition of the Spot On Schools exhibition, curated by Paola Giaconia, involves some 20 architecture and design schools which distinguish themselves for their research and experimentation in the field of new media communication.
The invited schools will tell, through the experience of the students and of the instructors, how the new technologies influence the various phases of a design, starting from the very act of creative conception.
The exhibition highlights energetic lines of research that fuel architectural education with new life.
