Como, Italy

​Upon completion of the Propositions studio, I had the opportunity to enroll in the Spring Travel Course, Scenography and Statecraft, lead by Brittany Utting and Daniel Jacobs and investigated architecture’s participation in the geopolitical scenography of the Italian Peninsula. Traveling to Como, we saw the Casa del Fascio, an administrative office and local Fascist party headquarters built by Terragni under Mussolini in 1936. Sitting directly in front of the Como Cathedral, the project is both an architectural object and participatory infrastructure that produces a collective political space.
