Meet the Competition Jury

This year the jury of the communities competition is enhanced by two members, reaching 7 members.
The selection of the jury is for us an essential moment to choose the figures who will be able to identify, with their expertise and their different backgrounds, a specific disciplinary field for architecture cinema.
We are patiently gathering an enthusiastic group of different personalities with whom to talk about architecture and its representation in film, in the hope of soon being able to define a common field of discussion and impulse for the development of this sector.

Quest'anno la giuria del concorso "communities" si arricchisce di due membri, raggiungendo quota 7.
La selezione della giuria è per noi un momento essenziale per scegliere le figure che potranno individuare, con le loro competenze e i loro diversi background, un campo disciplinare specifico per il cinema d'architettura.
Stiamo pazientemente raccogliendo un gruppo entusiasta di personalità diverse con cui parlare di architettura e della sua rappresentazione nel cinema, nella speranza di poter presto definire un campo comune di discussione e di impulso per lo sviluppo di questo settore.
