The third and last video, a short film created by De Carlo for the Triennial of 1954, deals with ironic and provocative, the theme of the condition of public space and problems with which daily faces. With this video, De Carlo, wanted to launch a kind of appeal to the people, inviting them to move to change and improve the city.
Giancarlo De Carlo, then looks at architecture as a social fact, which is certainly the responsibility of the architect, but also and above all, citizen at the center of architectural debate. And on the architectural debate De Carlo has high hopes: "architecture," he says, "can make kites that are reference points to create images, ideas and future."
A future more livable and scope of human needs.
