On Monday August 30, 2021, from 7:30 PM., the next in the series of lectures Urban Talks will take place, this time on the topic: Who will design the new Florence? An international jury selected five teams in May of this year to participate in the competition for the new shape of Florence and its surroundings. Out of 57 applications, teams from Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic have made it to the finals. The competition is halfway through, and the teams will not be able to present their competition designs and visions for Florence. However, you have a unique opportunity to meet some of the best urban planning offices in Europe.
The discussion will feature representatives from:
BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group (DK) Joao Albuquerque
de Architekten Cie. (NL) Branimir Medic + M2AU (CZ) Linda Obršálová + LOLA Landscape Architects (NL) Peter Veenstra
