In the digital era, architecture has become a global communication tool with wide scope and reach. No longer resting solely in the hands of the experts, nowadays architecture draws on its tangibility and concreteness to become an expression of general culture at all levels and a collective argument for debates. As a temple devoted to 360-degree diffusion of architectural culture, PRESS BOX, the installation by SET Architects, encompasses a selection of international publications curated by Mint LIST.

Designed to accommodate the reading area of the New Generations Festival, the international architecture event that took place from September 24th to 26th, 2017, the box stand out within the suggestive Eighteenth-century frame of the Acquario Romano-Casa dell’Architettura in Rome. The archetype of the street newsstand is translated into a lightweight reticular structure, which embodies the concept of networking.
