Versus is a seminar on research work on architectural design. Architects who have studied other architects talk about their comparison with figures relevant to their research. Versus property «il voltare», therefore «l'andare a capo», volgere, places the emphasis on looking backwards, but has a root in the Greek which also means measure and scansion. The word Versus makes explicit how this confrontation is complex and defines a field of action also of contrast and opposition in which the "antagonistic dimension" in the confrontation is understood as virtuous and prolific for the future.
The architects of this first cycle of meetings are scholars and protagonists of Roman architectural culture, who speak of Roman architects who, in turn, have marked a fundamental period of Italian architectural culture with their work.
