Professor Franco Pisani has been chosen to speak at the Architecture Symposium being hosted by McGill University in Athens, Greece in June 2015. The symposium has been organized by the History and Theory Program of McGill’s School of Architecture and is being hosted under the auspices of the Hellenic Institute of Architecture. The subject will explore how the literary production of modernity can enlighten architects and urban planners in understanding and valorizing qualitative characteristics of the contemporary life they are called to design for. Prof. Pisani will be among other participating professionals who will offer insights on the topic, raise and answer questions and open up a dialogue with the attendants.
