> THEME

The theme of the 2001 edition of the International Festival of Architecture
on Video is BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA. What is the role of architectural
communication technology today? How do architects use the new media? What
new patterns are emerging in connection with architectural technology? What
vocational prospects are there for the new generations? The problems raised
by the arrival of the new media lead to an exploration of the various
spheres of contemporary production, from television to the cinema and the
Internet, providing plenty of room for research on digital communication
technology. The dissemination of communications systems redefines
professional roles and develops methods for planning, producing and using
architecture. BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA will place the emphasis on the
most significant aspects of the changes produced by the media. It will
present a picture of the most interesting research and draw attention to
the consequences of using the media, with a view to defining the new
application scenarios.
