How can architecture today talk about itself? What narrative forms are most suitable to convey design ideas, to express projects and to disclose them to the public? How does design structure its languages and how does it express the culture of our times by means of a contemporary way of writing? Which paths do emerging creatives follow in order to approach the new modes of expression which are made possible by the digital tools and by the new media?

SCRIPT is a reflection on the different kinds of "writings" of the architectural project. Technological innovations and the development of the media of communication have influenced the ways we "script" architecture, enriching them and sometimes making them more complex but also more instantaneous, with all the negative and positive repercussions this entails. SCRIPT focuses on the variegated "fictional woods" through which contemporary architecture can express and describe itself, offering itself as a scenario for different actions and representations.

The wide, articulated and complex theme proposed for the 2005 edition of the BEYOND MEDIA festival (www.beyondmedia.it) couldn't do without the involvement of a diverse expertise: not only are well-known architects and designers involved in the talks and discussions, but also journalists, writers, cartoonists, illustrators, graphic artists, photographers, critics, videomakers, visual designers.
