In Contextual Iconic, Luca Poian will articulate an architectural position that reframes the idea of the icon as inseparable from its context. Grounded in a design process attentive to materials and construction, his work explores how architectural identity can emerge from material intelligence, tectonic clarity and a deep reading of place. During the lecture, Poian will present a curated selection of three projects from his practice, using them as lenses to reflect on how contemporary architecture can be simultaneously expressive and rooted—producing forms that resonate not by contrast, but by belonging.
