Architecture meets the school, Francesco Dal Co

Students of the upper secondary schools of Padua, Rovigo and the Provinces encounter architecture.

16 schools _ 783 students _ 59 chaperones
In a crowded Palazzo della Ragione, Francesco Dal Co, architectural historian, director of the magazine Casabella and Italian academic, captured the attention of those present and explained architecture, its importance and its evolution; he offered the students suggestions and provocations for subsequent studies and investigation, proposing various visions of architecture.
Architecture as a tool created by man to protect oneself and deal with the most important law, that of gravity, as in the design of the Dome of the Florence Cathedral for which Filippo Brunelleschi, while using knowledge inherited from the Greek and Roman world, invented the system of the self-supporting arch.
Architecture as a city, similar to a coral reef and which, like a coral reef, changes and stratifies, asking not to be looked at passively but actively to see its history.
Speaking of architecture, Francesco Dal Co offered students a new way of approaching knowledge, a way that leaves the listener free to choose whether to go more in depth for better understanding
