Theory is an Unfinished Worksite

The text explores the relationship between theory and construction site, introduces the research themes subsequently developed within Labor, the international architecture workshop within the Iuav Università di Venezia. It is about defining a possible theory of thought in the space of construction, trying to address the conflicts, the amenity and the times that architecture encounters in the phases of its realization.
Labor. The text is contained in Labor, Geographies of Work, a book edited by the author with Michel Carlana.
Abstract of the book: Labor, Geographies of Work, is a small book, a breviary intended as an initial table of comparison and discussion on the theme of work in architecture, related to the society and time in which we live. An ‘archipelago’ of universities reasoned about the meaning of the word Labor, the central theme of the 25th edition of the WAVe (international architecture workshops) at the Università Iuav di Venezia.
