Italian Architects and Collective Intelligence
Italian architectural projects are now often similar to each other, thus lacking the ‘heroic impulses’ that, for better or worse, were hallmarks of authors from previous generations. Is the frequent similarity between recent projects a form of collective intelligence (also fueled by Erasmus and the ubiquitous diffusion of images via social media) or conformism? Does it mark the end of authorship?
