my name is Matteo Chile I’m an architect
and I became a critic as well and a
cultural producer in architecture I
manage Museum of architecture and design
and directors in 2010 since it was
upgraded from city to the national
museum and we are trying to find out
what the new Museum of architecture
should be and what should what its
future roles
that’s why besides running exhibitions
and dealing with collections we are
trying to create new programs which
through the last years became clear that
should be focus particularly on support
to young talents in architecture
five years ago I have a feeling that
architectural faith was very much
going out what’s being built and how
it’s been built and what we done wrong
so it was about reflections on the
current project and we wanted to make a
shift and to shift the focus of
Architects into the future and I think
we managed to do that with young
architects and also with institutions
for institutions it’s also important
that they can see what is happening what
young people are thinking about and
regarding their responsibilities in the
public programs think about what they
need to do as well and what what there
are how many their missions should
change in the future as well in the
platform we have a diversity of
institutions and we were we were looking
for diversity of institutions so that a
large museum can learn from a small
publisher or a festival organizer can
look at someone dealing with prototyping
and that creates tension as well because
everyone is operating in a different
scale with the different means different
resources but the basic idea is that
every member institution shares part of
its resources to create
when we curate the conference that is
happening right now and is launching the
European architecture program we look at
these 25 applications and we try to
cluster under some particular issues
that they try to address and in a way
also that they can discuss among each
other and if last year we were talking
about some specific themes in
architecture like architecture and
nature or heritage this year it was more
about the processes of work in
architecture from research to cultural
production to practice and that’s what
we find very important in the platform
to discuss about the practice and to
discuss about the business model of an
architectural office or how the
professions list of tasks has changed
and broadened in the last year’s
I think it’s quite clear that if we want
to face changing again in the future
architectural education we needs to
change totally it is still happening in
a way as it happened 10 years ago 20
years ago in most of the schools and by
reading the applications of the young
generation that has become quite clear
some are very critical towards education
that they got some are bringing in
proposals how it should change and some
are simply lost so that’s something
that’s urgent I think then there are
different trends that may be not being
discarded is discovered through the
platform but that exists in the
contemporary architectural discussion
and it’s about the digital and the
physical of urban and non-urban reuse
and resources and materials and these
discussions are open to every active
cycle to think about the future but
there are urgent matters that we need to
deal with that requires from us
