architecture and light

on march 19, 2026, in syracuse, light becomes word, thought and construction.
maestro marionanni will be in dialogue with fabio capanni, professor at the university of florence, and fabrizio foti, professor at the university of syracuse, in a meeting dedicated to the deep relationship between architecture and natural light.

through three lectures, the day will explore the role of light as a material capable of generating space, defining shadow and transforming the perception of architecture.
theoretical reflections will intertwine with concrete examples and with the narration of design research, offering a direct look at how light can become a tool for building space and knowledge.

following the lectures, an open discussion with the audience will take place, to share questions, ideas and visions about the role of light in contemporary architecture.

a dialogue between different disciplines and sensibilities, to question how light can influence, reveal and construct architecture.
