From Uni-Italia Vietnam:

The Italian Embassy has the pleasure to present the architecture exhibition «Small Utopias» in the framework of Y-Viet program 2015.

The exhibition consists of 10 panels dedicated to the work of as many architecture studios, selected by MAXXI Architecture.

The MAXXI – Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo (National Museum of the 21st Century Arts) – is a national museum of contemporary art and architecture in Rome. The museum is managed by a foundation created by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. It was designed as a multidisciplinary space by Zaha Hadid and committed to experimentation and innovation in the arts and architecture.

MAXXI architettura (the section dedicated to architecture) is the first national museum of architecture in Italy.

The selection of images presents the most vital ‘new’ Italian architecture, carried out through a process based on three parallel directions: the authors, the projects, the themes.

The introduction of the authors and their biographies portrays the training of Italian architects and how they today integrate in the cultural and global professional scenarios.

The presentation of the projects allows to highlight a number of absolutely outstanding examples, very often realized on commission of a mixture of private and institutional clients.

The third direction features a new attention for the topics related to the most recent ideas of research, understood as expressive, social, scientific, technological and environmental innovation.

The combination of these points of view allows you to locate some of the most interesting Italian architects and a glimpse on the horizon of a world in rapid evolution.

Special attention is reserved to: environment and sustainability, integration with new technologies, public space and relationship with the life of old and new communities, attitude to recycling of existing assets, quality of the landscape (urban and not), quality and innovation in the residential projects, relationship to the historical heritage.
