DESCRIPTION:Martino Tattara\nDifficult Double is primarily a series of lec
 tures\, which aims to offer to EPFL a portrait of the contemporary panoram
 a of culturally involved practices around the world. The format\, echoing 
 the Venturian idea of architecture as a “difficult whole”\, couples ea
 ch time an architect’s work and his/her own main cultural reference in t
 he architectural production of the past\, starting from the basic assumpti
 on that architecture is not so much about inventions but more about intent
 ions. The architect and his/her obsession compose a “double portrait”\
 , a “difficult double”\, which should provide a deeper comprehension o
 f both the architect’s and the double’s oeuvre. The culture of archite
 cture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading\, sim
 plification and superficial interpretation of something far away\, both in
  space and time\, has been an engine of many of the avant-gardes of the re
 cent past. The totality of these micro stories will inevitably create an a
 lternative history\, an accumulated set of cultural knowledge.
