About the lecture：
Since the Renaissance piazza in Italy has represented urban spaces that belong to the people. What formed these spaces are those public architecture that were closely connected to people's daily lives: cathedral, city hall, market place, museum, and college. Through an architect's unique perspective, the speaker will introduce the piazzas and architecture in a number of Central and Northern Italian towns, as well as to illustrate an urban culture that respects history, environment, art and humanity.
