Counter-territories is an international urban and art competition and project with a research orientation to encourage local architects, artists, researchers and creative practitioners to work and network with international architects and professionals, to re-read and critically understand the current planning and geographic situation of our cities and territories by focusing on its social and cultural contexts, by using (counter-mapping) methodologies to re-documenting and re-drawing cultural and socio-spatial phenomena that are usually not visible in official maps, including the suspended, excluded and silenced phenomena, the dynamics of minorities use of space, the phenomena of placelessness, unhomeliness and loss of identity, hidden layers ... etc.

On 27 February 1960 Adriano Olivetti died. With the disappearance of the businessman-guide, the construction cycle of its industrial and social project terminated and a period of great uncertainty opened up: the company, financially fragile, underwent a forced change of ownership and strategy.

In this pandemic period when the comfort of our homes is especially valued right now, the next architect to speak virtually to the Dallas Architecture Forum on November 5 at 7:00 pm will be of special interest. Dirk Denison is the founder of the Chicago-based firm Dirk Denison Architects which is particularly known for its award-winning residential work, which includes the interiors and furniture design.

Architecture, the space of human being, was for Adriano Olivetti an irreplaceable tool for the creation of communities. Ivrea and the Canavese territory were the main fields of action of an industrial policy characterised by strong social responsibility.
