Stories of new spatial experiences

The international conference Architects in Exile: Stories of New Spatial Experiences (Milan, May 29-30, 2023) aims to explore a research field that has gained attention in recent years within cultural studies but remains unexplored from an architectural perspective: the exiles and migrations that have characterized the 20th century.
The valuable studies conducted so far on this topic have mainly focused on the biographical aspects of the individuals involved in these processes and their production, interpreted in a rather narrative sense. Architecture offers new keys for understanding and interpreting the complex phenomenon of “exile,” taking into account its heterogeneous nature.
Through the engagement of scholars whose research has focused on the examined themes from different disciplinary perspectives, the international conference “Architects in Exile” seeks to open new perspectives on the relationship between Exile and Architecture.
