The theme of the 2002 edition of the International Festival of Architecture
on Video (Florence, May 2nd-5th 2002) is BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA. What
is the role of architectural communication technology today? How do
architects use the new media? What new patterns are emerging in connection
with architectural technology? What vocational prospects are there for the
new generations?

BEYOND MEDIA/OLTRE I MEDIA will emphasize the most significant aspects of
the changes produced by the media. It will present a picture of the most
interesting researches and draw attention to the consequences of using the
media, due to a forthcoming definition of new application scenarios.
