Arcipelago Italia - Projects For The Future Of The Country's Interior Territories

'Arcipelago Italia' is the theme of the Italian Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture. It is an idea that shifts architecture's attention away from the major cities and toward the physical space of Italy, where towns and communities are historically expressed in a different relationship between urban dimension and territory, in their cultural vivacity and the way people manage spaces. This catalogue is a manifesto, the goal of which is to indicate possible paths to be undertaken, aimed at bestowing value and importance on architecture. By focusing on the most invisible, scarred parts of the country, it makes clear that these are also the areas that are richest in potential.
