DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paola Viganò (Lab-U ENAC EPFL)\nOnline Seminar Series \
 nPrima Lezione: Bernardo Secchi and the project of the contemporary city\n
 \nEight years after the last visit of Bernardo Secchi to Brazil\, the new 
 cycle of online seminars Prima Lezione: Bernardo Secchi and the project of
  the contemporary city will be a posthumous tribute to the Italian profess
 or\, given his important contribution to the debate around the contemporar
 y city project and urbanism education in Brazil and worldwide.\n\nThe "Fir
 st Lessons" seminar cycle was initiated in 2015\, under the coordination o
 f Prof. Dr. Adalberto Retto Jr\, at the Faculty of Architecture\, Arts\, C
 ommunication and Design of the Paulista State University (FAAC UNESP-Bauru
 \, SP-Brazil). The new cycle is a partnership with the Habitat Research Ce
 nter of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (HRC EPFL\, 
 Switzerland).\n\nThe launch event of the seminar cycle will have the pleas
 ure of welcoming the architect Paola Viganò\, professor and head of the L
 aboratory of Urbanism at EPFL and laureate of the Grand Prix de l'Urbanism
 e/2013.\n\nGuided by the book Prima Lezione di Urbanistica (City: Laterza\
 , 2000) by Bernardo Secchi (1934-2014)\, the scope of the initiative is to
  revive the "lecture" as a "civic activity" when faced with the new role t
 hat the public university must assume in Brazil. Furthermore\, it will see
 k to sediment relevant themes and create bridges that can discuss not only
  the political role of the discipline but explore a plural approach to the
  urban phenomenon in its complexity\, without losing sight of the importan
 ce and fruitfulness of a genuinely interdisciplinary understanding.\nStart
 ing in September 2022\, the cycle of seminars will receive\, each month\, 
 an internationally renowned guest and a mediator from Brazil to discuss th
 e work and the legacy of Bernardo Secchi for the project of the contempora
 ry city.\n
