Descrizione
Riassunto:Giovanna Borasi is Chief Curator of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, since 2014. In 2015 the show The Other Architect opened at the CCA, in which the possibility for an expanded cultural and societal role for architects is analyzed through a substantial number of case studies and archival documents. The question of the changing role of the architect, the relationship between subjective authorship and objective constraints along the action of design, are some of the crucial points that affect the proposal carried out by Ardeth magazine in general, and by this issue in particular. The Other Bottega features an interview to Giovanna Borasi on some of the issues that the show The Other Architect raised, related to the possibility for understanding the process of design and the different ways in which architectural practice can position itself with regard to the specific issues it confronts.
