Little Italy is a proactive research project which aims at stimulating a public
debate about the principal traits of the generation of Italian architects who
were born in the 1980s. Such effort is pursued, first of all, by mapping and
investigating the most interesting practices that are currently tackling
architecture from a diversity of points of view – as designers, editors,
curators, critics, researchers, photographers, artists, and so on – so to
discover who they are, where they live, what they do, how they do it and
why. Then, through the organization of different activities based on
different formats, Little Italy aims at collecting and highlighting the specific
references, themes, methodologies, networks, imaginaries, aims and
concerns of an age group whose identity has been shaped by three
fundamental transitions – a geographical (from Italy to Europe), a mediatic
(from paper to the Internet) and an economic one (from growth to
recession) – so to to better understand its contemporary condition, and
therefore foresee its possible futures
