The title Ursprung will act as common ground for the Fall semester 2024 public talks of the Academy of Architecture. The four talks will take place as part of an inclusive and innovative experiment of active cultural mediation taking place from 19 September 2024 at the Teatro dell'architettura Mendrisio, where, in addition to these, integrated workshops with Academy students in dialogue with a series of invited personalities, i.e. authors and experts in various fields who will contribute to the realisation of an exhibition in the making, also curated by the Swedish architecture office Arrhov Frick.

Ursprung can be the source of a river, an architecture, a thought or fire, oxygen, the sun or the moment before.
Both in Swedish and German, the term tells about origin, whether it would be memories, an existing situation, a climatic condition or a circular system.

Ursprung is therefore understood as a platform open to topics that also aim at the recognition of quality to the aspect of the unfinished in architecture, as it opens up further questions to be explored.
