Ar Magazine 121. Roma Sognata. gli Archivi di Architettura dal Nolli alle Nuove Poetiche Radicali. Rome as a dream. Architectural archives, from Nolli to the new radical poetics.

Issue no. 121 of AR Magazine - Rivista dell'Ordine degli Architetti P.P.C. di Roma e Provincia, the magazine published by the regulated professional association of architects, planners, and landscapists/ branch of Rome and its province (hereafter "the Association") - elaborates on the topics emerging from the conferences on archives that were held at Casa dell''Architettura in 2019. Today, the study of architectural archives represents a pre-requisite for project planning and implementation This is why the activities of continuing professional development of the Association encompass the study of archives: a key to understanding both the past and the present. This issue of the Magazine develops and goes beyond the themes of these conferences, proposing a journey to explore Roma sognata, dal Nolli alle nuove poetiche radicali (Rome as a Dream. Architectural archives, from Nolli to the new radical poetics) through historical analyses and prospects for the future. Hence, the study of archives is not only an investigation of the past, but also and above all an operational tool for the practice of the profession.
