ScaLIurbani - conversazioni di architettura

In 2018 the Association of Architects of Livorno opened a design competition for the naming and branding of a new, city-wide festival dedicated to architecture that will take place annually, starting in summer 2019. Our proposal, SCALIURBANI - Conversazioni di Architettura, won the first prize in the competition and was officially adopted as the event's name and visual identity.

Our concept was a homage to the Tuscan city’s historical vocation as a major node for the trade of goods and ideas, which shaped its unique topography. Specifically, we were inspired by the Scali, the waterways built to link the port and the city, that gave Livorno a peculiar shape and that, still to this day, are a defining element in its urban fabric.

This project was a collaboration w/ Andrea Giambelli for fondaco.
