Summary:
Catalogue of the ''Technoscape'' exhibition, which was held at MAXXI in Autumn 2022, focused on the relationship between artistic and scientific disciplines, nowadays closer than ever, and the consequent contacts between technique, creativity, and social awareness. Architecture, engineering, and science have overlapped on numerous occasions during the 20th century. First in the heroic phase and then in the mature phase of the reinforced concrete, then with the affirmation of hi-tech construction methods in the 1970s and 1980s and finally with the eruption of digitally controlled technologies. The volume follows the dual register of the exhibition, first dealing with how technology is making architecture, urban planning, and other related disciplines more aware of their technical and scientific responsibility and capable of opening up new lines of research. The focus shifts then to structural engineering, comparing current masterpieces with previous historical modernist examples.
