After Brutalism inspired AW13, Kristian Steinberg continues to study the way societies expresses themselves through architecture and the way buildings urge us to identify with the agenda they represent. Perhaps therein lies the reason why Romans themselves often fail to see past the Fascist history of the grand exhibition area EUR (Esposizione Universale Roma). Benito Mussolini engaged top architects of the time to embark on a project as grand as any from the Roman past, to show the world what Rome was, is and will become. When Kristian visits the area on his trip to Rome, he is stricken by the early modernism that still looks relevant and by the way it interprets landmark buildings from the antiquities in a way that is at least as innovative and impressive as the original and most importantly doesn’t try to replicate, but rather takes its own bold direction. Palazzo Della Civilità summarises this notion the best and has earned the nickname “The Square Colosseum”.
