VICENZA IN THE CENTER VICENZA IN THE CENTER IN THE CENTER In its tenth year of life it wants to be a community more than ever. Every day with the industrious aperitifs at the well-known meeting places in the historic center, it gathers everyone, with particular regard for lonely people, to exchange opinions, information, even material help and a lot of friendship.
To be a cultural association, it organizes study meetings and visits to places of interest, even less known but no less significant. With the monthly brochure, open to everyone's collaboration, it collects stories, traditions, events to be exchanged and handed down to the people of Vicenza and beyond. And he also thinks of the future city, at the risk of being overwhelmed by the already highly contested works and those in the project such as the TAV. This is why we got our hands on with the project of the International Architecture Studio.
Why can't the students who come here to visit the great monuments from all over the world, instead, stay to study architecture? A university, the only one of Vicenza origins, must become an attraction and give a new face to the city. Vicenza candidate for the capital of culture cannot neglect the architecture that constitutes its tradition, its roots, its history, its identity. The cultural heritage to be transmitted through the university. This is the winning project to make Vicenza the capital of culture.
