Architecture as propaganda - a school project

September 2023

"Architecture as propaganda: the exhibition of power in the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century" is the title of a new project proposed by the Pro Torviscosa association in collaboration with ATRIUM and the ISIS Bassa Friulana schools and financed by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.

The objective of the project is to allow students from Lower Friuli to learn about ATRIUM's built heritage in other towns and cities. ATRIUM provides the students with its experience and materials so that they may draw inspiration for new creations such as guided visits, brochures and videos.
