Corvino + Multari Architecture in Dialogue with the City

To celebrate the release of the book Corvino + Multari. Architecture in Dialogue with the City (Marsilio Arte, 2025), Maria Vittoria Capitanucci and Paolo Scrivano talk with the author Pierre-Alain Croset and the architects Vincenzo Corvino and Giovanni Multari. The book reconstructs thirty years of activity by the Neapolitan studio in the form of a dialogic tale on the profession of architect. In six chapters, the “why” and “how” of a design approach that is both pragmatic and experimental, always rigorous and moved by a strong ethical tension, which conceives architecture as a dialogue with the city, the landscape and every pre-existence, are highlighted. Both in the restoration, reuse and completion of existing buildings or in new buildings, their architecture always originates from a critical interpretation of the urban or landscape context.

Speakers Pierre-Alain Croset, architect and critic, professor Politecnico di Milano Maria Vittoria Capitanucci, historian and critic, Milan Paolo Scrivano, historian and critic, professor Politecnico di Milano Vincenzo Corvino and Giovanni Multari, architects and university lecturers, Naples
