Vittorio Gregotti Architect of the Modern Project

At Cuore, we host the presentation of the book Vittorio Gregotti. Architect of the Modern Project (2025) by Lorenzo Ciccarelli. Gregotti was an architect, urban planner and theorist, recognised as a key figure in the Italian and European architectural debate of the post-war period. Throughout his life, in addition to directing influential magazines and authoring books and essays translated into several languages, he also served as a professor at prestigious universities and curated memorable exhibitions and events. Furthermore, he founded and led a studio which—over more than forty years of activity—developed a wide range of projects, from objects to cities. Gregotti pursued every field of the architectural profession with determination, promoting cultural tendencies and stimulating debate. The volume offers a critical analysis of his figure through thematic chapters that explore his theoretical reflection, cultural tension, role as a public intellectual, projects and multifaceted legacy, portraying a figure that remains, in many aspects, highly relevant today.

Speakers Stefano Boeri, President of Triennale Milano Lorenzo Ciccarelli, Professor at the University of Florence Pierre-Alain Croset, Professor at Politecnico di Milano Marco De Michelis, professor at Università Bocconi Milano Cristina Bianchetti, professor at Politecnico di Torino
