Mike Stiff at Florence's Salon of Urban Architecture

On Tuesday 12 May, Mike will be giving a presentation at Florence's Salon of Urban Architecture, S/UA, an umbrella for research, practice, and engagement with urbanism and urban architecture based in the heart of Florence. Mike will be discussing, ‘Se vogliamo che tutto rimanga com’è, bisogna che tutto cambi’, (for everything to remain the same, everything must change).

Mike will present S+T’s work and share some lessons from London, a city that has gone through numerous cycles of development and change.

S/UA brings together practitioners, researchers, educators, students, and the general public around explorations of the interrelationship between architecture, the creation of public space, urban structure, and the systems that inform them.

The salon, a gathering of people for intellectual exchange, was introduced in Italy in the 16th century. This tradition continues at S/UA with lively conversations around urbanism with international guests, a glass of wine, and incomparable views of one of the great international examples of urban design, Florence.
