FA I'd like to begin by proposing a few notes which could serve as points of departure for our conversation. Our recent survey of Italian architecture revealed a concentration of quality results in the north, and a fair number in the south, while central Italy appears to produce few projects. Would you go along with this view? My second observation is that the works we have seen seem to owe a recognisable debt, on one hand, to what was once called International Style, and on the other to Spain and Portugal. Furthermore, whereas previously a variety of schools derived from the Polytechnics were more or less recognisablern- and onto which excellences and epigones were graftedrn- postgraduate architectural training today has tended to drive out such schools or to merge them together.
