Where do architectural projects - or should I write my architectural projects - come from? Often from afar, from childhood, from memories, from quite faded snapshots, from horizons seen through a window. It is all of those « from » that the conference seeks to understand. Not only to tell their origin, but to trace their path and their transformation. Because when the architectural project is here, the « from » has fortunately vanished: only remains the new stories that the project invites to tell. The project is an endless story with a thousand roots and a thousand branches.
