On May 28, the stage will be set for the official launch of ‘Osteria dell’Architetto. Cultura del saper fare’ (Architect’s Bistro. Cultural know-how) the format promoted by Oikos Venezia in collaboration with Casabella Formazione.
The cycle of meetings will take place across 15 stages in the best Italian wine cellars, constituting authentic icons of architecture and design, passing through 12 regions and conclude at the Oikos Venice headquarters.
Each event will be linked by a common thread – ‘cultural know-how’ – a concept that reflects the excellence, tradition and beauty that characterize Italian craftsmanship and industry.
This innovative formula aims to establish an open dialog with participants within a friendly and welcoming environment. The experience will be complemented by a tasting of local wines and products.
Each evening will feature an internationally renowned guest architect.
What we mean by the ‘Cultural know-how’
Italian know-how is synonymous with quality, the result of centuries of refinement and attention to detail, and is reflected in many sectors, from fashion to engineering, from gastronomy to design.It has its roots in a rich history, where ancient crafts and artisan techniques are handed down from generation to generation, preserving a unique cultural heritage.
Aesthetics is a key element of this. Italian products are not only functional but also beautiful, often inspired by Renaissance splendor and shaped by a culture thousands of years old.
Despite strong ties to tradition, Italian know-how is also synonymous with innovation. Italian companies are known for their ability to integrate new technologies and creative ideas while respecting tradition.
The topics covered during the evenings
Four themes will be developed in each of the stages through the accounts of our distinguished guests:
- The culture of Italian know-how: a heritage of inestimable value, which has been brought to us through craftsmanship and ancient trades handed down from generation to generation;
- Architecture and space: the art of shaping places and transforming spaces by telling stories and defining experiences;
- The taste of excellence: the importance of food and wine, the cornerstones of Italian tradition and living;
- High-value entrepreneurship: success stories and innovation that inspire and guide the future of our country.
