Acque, infrastrutture e memoria - Una selezione di documenti fotografici tratti dall'archivio dell'ingegner Augusto Rima di Locarno (1916-2003)
Academy of Architecture Library Mendrisio
At the conclusion of Augusto Rima's archive inventoring, the Library of the Academy contributes to the 9th Biennale dell’Immagine (organized by Galleria Cons Arc and the m.a.x. Museo in Chiasso, with the title TRASFORMAZIONI). It does so by exhibiting a selection of historic documents.
The photographs shown in the exhibition reveal the complex environmental conditions and engineering challenges connected to Ticino's watercourses management, as well as the ecological imbalances brought about by the booming economy and demography of this region.
