DESCRIPTION:Arduino Cantàfora\, Luca Ortelli\nARDUINO CANTÀFORA\, LUCA O
 RTELLI\nAn Education in the Real\, L’Atelier Cantàfora\n\nAn Education 
 in the Real\, L’atelier Cantàfora\, is an exhibition devoted to the ped
 agogical legacy of Arduino Cantàfora\, a Milanese painter\, writer\, and 
 professor of Architectural Drawing at École Polytechnique Fédérale de L
 ausanne. It presents hundreds of painted wooden panels produced by student
 s between 1992 and 1996\, depicting urban façades in Geneva and Lausanne 
 at a 1:5 scale\, alongside rigorous exercises such as steam locomotives\, 
 enlarged beetles\, and anatomically precise skeletons. The exhibition affi
 rms Cantàfora’s belief in analogue representation as foundational archi
 tectural knowledge. A public discussion between Arduino Cantàfora and Luc
 a Ortelli will be introduced by Nicola Braghieri.\n\nArduino Cantàfora\, 
 a Milanese architect\, artist\, scenographer and writer\, taught for more 
 than twenty years\, from 1989 to 2011\, at the Swiss Federal Institute of 
 Technology in Lausanne (EPFL)\, where he taught architecture students the 
 theory and techniques of drawing as well as art history.\n\nLuca Ortelli i
 s an architect. A professor at EPFL from 1996 to 2021\, he taught architec
 tural design and theory\, headed the Architecture Section and Institute\, 
 developed an intensive critical and editorial activity\, and conducted an 
 independent professional practice in architecture\, affirming an intellect
 ual and disciplinary conception of architecture.\n\n\nThis lecture is part
  of the School Lecture Series\n\nCOMMUNITY VOL.2\nSeven exemplary projects
  and case studies\n\nCommunity is an ambivalent concept. It involves both 
 gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive 
 communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite thr
 ough exclusion than inclusion. However\, communities are not sealed. Philo
 sopher Roberto Esposito explains that community ‘is not a property or te
 rritory to defend but a void\, a debt\, and a gift to others’\, remindin
 g us of our otherness.\n\nThis lecture series explores the topic of commun
 ity through architecture. How does architecture explore\, define\, or enab
 le communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities\, byp
 assing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experien
 ce? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these 
 questions through their work\, which spans film\, exhibitions\, and commun
 itarian buildings.\n\nSave the dates and join us on Tuesday evenings!
