The enhancement of the archives of Italian design: the case of the Ettore Sottsass jr. fund

plus DEC, 10 2020

The Giorgio Cini Foundation presents the AOA – ARCHiVe Online Academy courses, six chapters dedicated to the conservation of cultural heritage between analogue and digital.

 

In December 2018, the Cini Foundation received, as a gift from Barbara Radice, part of the archive of her husband, the architect and designer Ettore Sottsass jr.

In these meetings, the work in progress on the Sottsass fund will be presented, highlighting the shared experiences of those who took part in the project, the result of the collaboration between the Cini Foundation and the Iuav University of Venice.

 

The lesson of December 10th will deal with the challenges faced in the context of digitization, archival description and archive study, using specific examples and referring to the techniques and tools in use at ARCHiVe.

 

Teachers:

Andrea Barbon, responsible of ARCHiVe

Marco Scotti, Iuav-ARCHiVe research fellow

Costanza Blaskovic and Alice Vivian, ARCHiVe collaborators
