The exhibition, curated by Arianna Callocchia, presents a selection of twelve projectssigned by female founders or co-founders of international architecture firms, recently made in twelve different countries.
A tour of the world among new construction projects, architectural recovery, expansion of existing buildings and urban regeneration to learn about the female approach in the design dedicated to education and culture.
