LESSONS OF ARCHITECTURE |

Durisch + Nolli Architects
The firm Durisch + Nolli Architects was founded in 1993 thanks to the synergy between ETH Zürich’s graduates Pia Durisch (Lugano, 1964) and Aldo Nolli (Milan, 1959). Since the very beginning their research has been characterised by their "out in the open" ways, and over the years through their work, they have become exponents of a constant confrontation between Swiss and European contemporary architecture. The lecture will be held on Thursday, October 23 at 7.30pm in the Aula Magna of Mendrisio Campus.
