The project uses audiovisual installations to spotlight seven cases of public architectural interventions, which were chosen as virtuous examples of architecture that improves the user’s relationship with the urban, social and natural environment.

The diverse installations – including a hospital, a car park, a theatre and a natural area – let visitors view how architectural space enables users to enjoy public places as conscious members of society while they go about their day-to-day routines.

The project suggests visitors assess the quality of the architectural intervention from a human and social standpoint. The video shooting – carried out over a period of several months – includes scenes and images from persons who interacted with the seven projects Its aim is to encourage an empathic experience that makes the viewer analyze and perceive architecture from the user’s perspective in order to define its innermost value.
