Aligned with the values of its cultural agenda designed to promote dialogue with institutions and local stakeholders, while bringing together diverse fields of knowledge through photography, Lab27 is presenting a series of events curated by Fondazione Architettura Treviso. 

In continuity with the first series of meetings held in 2023, the exploration of the theme "Telling Architecture", curated by Fondazione Architettura Treviso, continues. The three upcoming conferences will offer further opportunities to delve into the various forms of communication in architecture. Storytelling is one of the fundamental aspects of the architect’s profession: it is a powerful tool for sharing knowledge and promoting one’s work. Narrating one’s own approach allows professionals to disseminate and stand by their ideas, while establishing a direct dialogue with those who live and experience architecture firsthand.
Once again this year, professionals have been selected who dedicate their work to the communication and transmission of architecture in all its forms.

In parallel with the series of talks, visitors will have the opportunity to view the exhibition “Fundamenta”, featuring the photographic work of Aldo Amoretti. The show presents 18 works that explore the fundamental elements of architecture: place, history, time, geometry, light, material, ground, boundary, and horizon. For each of these themes, the author has selected a pair of photographs, each accompanied by a quote from one of nine distinguished scholars from different generations and backgrounds.
The “Fundamenta” exhibition was conceived as an opportunity to engage with delicate theoretical issues and to reaffirm the richness of the relationship between fine art photography and architecture—especially when the photographer’s gaze and sensitivity go beyond mere appearance and instead lead us into a deeper dimension: one of thought, where the very nature of architecture is questioned and explored.

Graduated in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1992, Aldo Amoretti worked as an architect until 2005, earning numerous national and international awards. In 2005, he began his career as an architectural photographer. He collaborates with several internationally renowned architects, including Peter Zumthor, BIG Bjarke Ingels, Snøhetta, Auer Weber, J.L. Mateo, and John Pawson, among others.
In 2017 and 2019, he won the A+Award for photography with images of projects by Peter Zumthor and BIG. In 2018, he was one of five finalists for the international Architectural Photography Awards. In 2020, he placed third in the architecture category at the IPA (International Photography Awards).
His photographic and architectural work has been featured in leading architecture magazines such as The Architectural Review, Casabella, Detail, and Abitare, and has been exhibited in international venues including the Venice Biennale, La Galerie d’Architecture in Paris, the National Museum of Architecture in Oslo, and the Bari International Archivistica.
