A School Project

The project “Architettura come Propaganda. L’esibizione del potere nei regimi totalitari del Novecento” (Architecture as Propaganda: the display of power in totalitarian regimes of the 20th century) is promoted by the Pro Torviscosa association in collaboration with ATRIUM and the ISIS Bassa Friulana schools.

Objectives
- First, it allows students from Torviscosa and surroundings areas to learn about ATRIUM's built heritage in other towns and cities. The proximity of Torviscosa to some other ATRIUM towns (Labin, Raša, Tresigallo) will allow students to visit them.
- The second objective is the production of new material on Torviscosa, addressed to young people. ATRIUM will provide the students with its experience and material so that they may draw inspiration for new creations such as touring performances, leaflets and videos. The participation of different types of schools will allow for the creation of various materials.
