At the conclusion of the exhibition “Luigi Trezza, architetto e ingegnere a Verona” (Luigi Trezza, architect and engineer in Verona) realized and promoted by the Mantova Campus and the ABC department of the Politecnico di Milano with the Municipality of Verona, as part of the events of MANTOVARCHITETTURA 2024, a symposium will be held on June 6, 2024 at the Verona Land Customs. The day aims to focus not only on the figure of architect Luigi Trezza (Verona, 1972-1823) two hundred years after his passing, but also and especially on his legacy within the transdisciplinarity present in his own work as a scholar and professional dedicated to architecture and the city.
In the morning, talks by eminent scholars of Luigi Trezza are scheduled. In the afternoon session, however, scholars, researchers, doctoral students are invited to share their work and ideas based on the premises stated above by trying to place themselves in the following themes of inquiry, but not limited to:
- The figure of Luigi Trezza;
- The historical and/or geographical context offered by the figure of Luigi Trezza;
- The legacy of Luigi Trezza's work in the disciplinary areas he addressed (architecture-engineering-design-relief-landscape);
- New perspectives of interdisciplinary reading of the figure of Luigi Trezza;
- New ways of disseminating the material and intangible offered by the study of the figure of Luigi Trezza.
