The third edition of the SPOT ON SCHOOLS exhibition, curated by Paola Giaconia, involves some twenty architecture and design schools which in the world distinguish themselves for their research and experimentation in the field of new media of communication. The invited schools will tell, through the experience of the students and of the instructors, how the new technologies influence the various phases of a design, starting from the very act of creative conception.

The exhibition highlights energetic lines of research that fuel architectural education with new life.
