Teatro dell’architettura Mendrisio

The Teatro dell’architettura Mendrisio, built on the Campus of Mendrisio - Università della Svizzera italiana, was designed by arch. Mario Botta, promoted and realized thanks to the joint work of the Università and the Fondazione Teatro dell'architettura, in order to offer a privileged dialogue space for the cultural debate on architecture, the city, the landscape.
Alongside the teaching and research activities carried out within the Academy of Architecture, this initiative aims to strengthen the educational offer with exhibitions, seminars and different activities, to give visibility to the new transdisciplinary interests that increasingly intervene in the design process and redefine the social role of architecture.

Current exhibitions

ʹWHAT MAD PURSUIT. Aglaia Konrad, Armin Linke, Bas Princenʹ

-
Through a selection of photographic works by Aglaia Konrad (Salzburg, 1960), Armin Linke (Milan, 1966) and Bas Princen (Zeeland, 1975), the project explores the relationship between architecture and photography, and that between the latter and the context in which it is shown, focusing on the complexity of an interweaving that places the works at the centre of a constant process of negotiation between subject and exhibition space.

The exhibition is documented in the following languages: I/E
