Fuksas and Sbarigia on Architecture and Cinema in Podcast

The Contemporaneamente podcast features a dialogue between architect Massimiliano Fuksas and Chiara Sbarigia, president of Cinecittà S.p.A., exploring the intersection of architecture and cinema. They discuss how cinema introduces concepts like montage, sequence shots, and multiple perspectives into architecture, creating an osmosis that dissolves materiality. Fuksas, born in Rome in 1944, is an internationally renowned architect with studios in Rome, Paris, and Shenzhen, and has completed 83 major projects worldwide, including the Fiera Rho-Pero in Milan, the EUR Congress Center in Rome, and Shenzhen Airport. He was director of the 7th Venice International Architecture Exhibition and has received the Grand Prix National d'Architecture Française and the title of Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Sbarigia, a literature graduate from Rome, began her career at APA in 1994, became its director general in 2003, and has been president of APA Service since 2020. She has served as treasurer of CEPI and operational director of the Roma Fiction Fest and the International Audiovisual Market. The podcast also promotes other Artribune newsletters: Incanti (art market weekly), Render (urban regeneration bi-weekly), and PAX (cultural tourism bi-weekly).
