Webinar: Introduction to the ATRIUM Route (Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes of the XX Century in Europe’s Urban Memory)

The ATRIUM European Cultural Route is one of the 45 Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe, certified in 2014. 
The totalitarian regimes which characterised much of Europe during the central decades of the twentieth century had a major impact on the urban landscape. These regimes founded and rebuilt cities often drawing on the most advanced architectural and urban design projects that existed at the time. While, today, democratic Europe firmly opposes these totalitarian regimes, their built heritage remains on our streets as an uncomfortable heritage. 
 
In the webinar you will hear, for example, about:

• The basic concept and principal activities of the route
• How to become a member
• The project activities of the route
• Practical examples how members participate in the route activities
• The work of the ATRIUM Academic Network
• ATRIUM and European projects
