Learning to look at the space around us in order to find new shared solutions.
MAXXI is organising an international conference on education to built spaces dedicated to architecture students and architects, teachers of any kind and level, museum educators and professionals in the field of culture and education.
MAXXI’s Education Department has garnered a lot of experience in the field of education to architecture, starting from the construction of the extraordinary building by Zaha Hadid, thanks to activities and experimental projects conducted on museum spaces as well as modern and contemporary architecture, with the aim of rendering the language of architecture familiar to non-specialised audiences.
The conference aims at providing an overview of the best international practices in the field of education to architecture in order to understand the architectural landscape around us, raise awareness about the spaces of everyday life and contribute to the active definition of their qualitative and relational traits.
By enabling a direct interaction with the professionals who have created innovative projects for different audiences, thereby providing examples from which to draw inspiration, the conference provides an opportunity to discuss educational approaches, planning methodologies and practical instruments in order to “help understand the spatial essence of architecture, for everyone to be able to see the environments in which they spend most of their existence”.
