A series of lectures to celebrate Francesco Borromini 350 years after his death.
Four events with some of the main figures in national and international contemporary architecture to investigate the modernity of Borromini’s thought and work, whose construction and stylistic features have influenced the development of European architecture to the present day.
Borromini’s modernity
In the last event Paolo Portoghesi, that over the years has explored the modernity of Borromini as a historian and as an architect, examines the influence of Borromini on modern architecture and the research affinities with figures such as Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Bruno Taut, Hans Poelzig, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Robert Venturi and Frank Gehry. The thesis of Borromini’s modernity has influenced Portoghesi’s architecture who, since the beginnning, has tried demonstrating his prophetic value for modernity as recognised by Giedion in hisSpace Time Architecture and by Bruno Zevi on several occasions.
