The mini-symposium will focus on some megastructural proposals, designed in the 60s and 70s of the twentieth century, in order to discuss the social and cultural context that stimulated, then, a playful and expressive relationship between Architecture and Structure: from quotidian experience to radical utopia. In this sense, the symposium will not only count on the testimony of notorious authors of some of those proposals, but also on the vision of important researchers lately specialized on the matter.
