on the italian island of sardinia, in the southern city of cagliari, architects, artists and writers have transformed the industrial area of an ex tobacco manufacturer into a workshop of cultural research and urban architecture projects. ‘festarch’ is the first sardinian festival of architecture, with master lessons, round tables, discussions and exhibitions focused on architecture theory, planning, urban design, transportation, ecological restoration, economic development, resource use…
the master lessons were conducted by pritzker prize recipients: rem koolhas, paulo mendes da rocha and jacques herzog along with fellow architects kengo kuma, massimiliano fuksas, philippe rahm; by landscape architect gilles clément; designer enzo mari; by the writers hans ulrich obrist and laurence weschler and photographers armin linke and gabriele basilico. read the designboom article here
