L'architettura Italiana Per La Citta Cinese / Italian Architecture for Chinese City

The Universal Exposition in Shanghai asked exhibiting nations: '¬SWhich city model can you imagine for the future?'¬ This is Italy'¬"s response. Italy took up the challenge, setting up a pavilion on the "city of the future", entitled "The City of Man," in which man becomes the main character, where the concept of living plays a leading role. A building which used new eco-friendly materials, environmentally friendly, and forward-looking. Moreover, it was the theme of the Expo itself which launched this challenge. A pavilion that has now become a symbol of Italian know-how, thus renewing traditional Italian architecture in the imagination of visitors. And inspired architecture was certainly one of the keys to sowing new seeds of confidence for the future. A future in which it is possible to imagine new communities, better cities and a better life in relationship with the country and the world. Inspired by the general theme of the Expo, "Better city, Better life", the success of Italy'¬"s participation will be even more important if, thanks to these proposals, the idea of a city and a better life will become clearer and more achievable. A city that never cease to surprise, always mixing a balanced economy, architectural masterpieces, wellness, taste, respect for the environment. Italy is, more than others, capable of a strong proposal for a 'type' city because it is in its past that serves as the starting point in looking for inspiration.
