gravalosdimonte architects exhibited at MAXXI

Ignacio Grávalos and Patrizia Di Monte, gravalosdimonte architects, have been selected to take part in the exhibition #ErasmusEffect at @Museo_MAXXI. Discovering the successes of the ‘Erasmus generation’, who decided to find abroad their success, from Renzo Piano to Massimiliano. From the role of Giacomo Quarenghi in St Petersburg to the work of Lina Bo Bardi in Brazil and through to Pietro Belluschi in the United States and Romaldo Giugola – still active in Australia – or even Renzo Piano, the migratroy paths followed by some of our leading talents are well known and well established within the international historiography of architecture. The exhibition Erasmus Effect investigates the progressive acceleration that the phenomenon of “migrant” Italian architecture has undergone in recent decades. From the work of the established international companies to the projects and built works of the young Italian studios, shedding light on both the “widespread quality” of their work and the dense network of collaborations and trans-national ateliers born in the wake of the “Erasmus generation”. And lastly, the “star” migrants, not just architects, but voices, faces and stories capable of recounting a very extensive phenomenon and to lend energy and substance to the commitment of those striving to ensure that this precious Italian talent may return home. Curated by Pippo Ciorra. Tomorrow will also open the exhibition on Alessandro Anselmi. FIGURES AND FRAGMENTS, more than 100 drawings, designs, patterns, to retrace the career of a great master of Italian, and of UNStudio. MATTER IN MOTION, a large site-specific installation to retrace 25 years of architectural production in the Dutch study.  Great architecture awaits you at the MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts, December the6th!
