Silvia Botti on Architecture Communication and Abitare's Multimedia Evolution
Born in Milan in 1965, Silvia Botti has been at the helm of Abitare since April 2014. During her tenure, the publication has transformed into a multimedia entity, incorporating a website, social media channels, events, and partnerships with Corriere della Sera for special editions. Abitare hosts the Design Summit, with the most recent event taking place on November 30 at Corriere's Milan office, emphasizing best practices in the circular economy. Botti shared her insights during an interview at MAXXI in Rome for Obiettivo Architettura, which runs until January 24, 2018. She advocates for high-quality information, a multidisciplinary perspective, and authentic photography. Abitare will also provide live coverage of the upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara.
