Symposium and Exhibition
MEGASTRUCTURE RELOADED
18 & 19th of October 2008
"Megastructure is dead. It is thus high time to place it within the history of architecture." Under this title Reyner Banham gave a series of lectures at the architecture department of Naples University in 1973. Today, megastructural planning is again attracting the interest of a younger generation of designers, architects as well as artists. The reason for which might be the visionary power and the easiness with which they redefined fundamental questions of architecture and the human environment, an aspect which the mostly pragmatic architecture and urban planning of today is lacking.
