Four Huts

(or On Simplicity)

A conversation with philosopher, writer and university professor Leonardo Caffo

The events are open to a maximum of 50 spectators. We therefore invite you to make your reservation online.

read all

An exchange through philosophy and architecture, ethics and aesthetics. Philosopher Leonardo Caffo tells us about four huts, those built and inhabited by Thoreau, Le Corbusier, Wittgenstein and Theodor “Unabomber” Kaczynski. Four men, a thinker-writer, an architect, a philosopher and a scientist, make a radical gesture. Four different paths seeking simplicity, intended as a form of both resistance and revolution.
