Il disegno architettonico romano tra avanguardia e storia

Architectural drawing in Rome, recounted through the exhibition curated by Franco Purini, Fabrizio Ronconi and Gianfranco Toso, is part of a complex and contradictory context. In Rome, more than in other parts of Italy, the sense of subordination of architecture to the history, as a trace of the past with which it is difficult to confront, is remarkable. It is also central the relationship between architecture and cities and it is clear a continuous uncertainty between rationalism and expressionism: are still strong influences of avant-garde. Moreover, as explained by Franco Purini, in Italy the relationship with modernity is difficult and belonging to it each time is contracted by Italian architects.
