For the General Public. Architecture Between Debate, Dissemination, and Narrative Strategies

Edited by Chiara Baglione, Fabio Marino

 

International Conference

Politecnico di Milano

When
From to

Communicating architecture to a non-specialist audience means not only interpreting and clarifying complex ideas but also developing accessible narratives capable of engaging and stimulating. Positioning architecture as a matter of collective relevance, and raising awareness among non-experts about the quality of design, construction, and the urban environment, has required a continuous evolution of narrative strategies over time. 

In the past, architectural dissemination relied primarily on specialists or on the mediation of intellectuals. Today, however, media have multiplied and diversified, embracing visual, audiovisual, performative, and digital languages. 

The conference aims to foster a historically grounded and critically engaged reflection on the impact that the evolution of languages, formats, and communication platforms has had - and continues to have - on the construction of architectural narratives intended for the general public. It seeks to examine case studies and models that reveal processes of transformation, continuity, and emerging challenges in architectural communication, spanning a timeline from the early 20th century to today’s diverse and complex media environment, characterized by a multiplicity of languages and platforms. 

This is therefore an invitation for a critical examination of how the relationship between architecture and the general public has transformed and continues to evolve, considering the ways in which architectural narratives and modes of dissemination have been constructed and conveyed across various traditional and digital media.
