Abstract

Great Universal Exhibitions are always opportunities to showcase the nation’s state of art in the field of scientific research, humanistic and artistic experimentation. These issues often melt into each other, making the theme of the exhibition the pretext from which to start initial insights broader and shared, more inclusive and questioning. World Expositions are also an opportunity to gather in one place, the debate about issues and similar questions often discussed in places distant from each other. Along with this aspect - the fundamental reason why even in the digital age you feel the need to organize events of this magnitude - the issue that most directly affects architecture is that the Universal Exhibitions are also among the few occasions that have the strength to generate significant and real transformations of substantial parts of the city and the territory.
