On the occasion of Milan Arch Week 2025, we present a lecture by Virginia San Fratello entitled Balancing Acts. Through the projects of Rael San Fratello and Emerging Object, the lecture discusses architecture beyond construction, expanding the practice to a field that must confront structural, political, and ethical contradictions.
