Lecture 4 of the M.Arch Team’s Seminar Series: Oppositions X Intersections in Architecture
In this talk, Paolo Saporito will lead an interactive session that will analyse sequences from films about land exploitation and overbuilding (“Le mani sulla città” /Hands Over the City, 1963). He will talk about how he interprets images to elaborate ethical reflections concerning environmental issues.
