ArchIndependence Day: Reimagining Italian Monuments Amid Alien Invasion
The cultural association and online magazine Disordine degli Architetti has launched ArchIndependence Day, a provocative competition inviting participants to reimagine four iconic Italian landmarks: the Lanterna di Genova, the Colosseum in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Duomo di Milano. The contest focuses on themes of substitution and absence, encouraging entrants to envision these sites during a fictional alien invasion, resulting in apocalyptic and surreal architectural visions. Projects were submitted by the end of 2018, and public voting runs until March 19. Winners will be determined by a combined score from popular and expert jury votes.
