The Order of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects and Conservators of the Province of Arezzo, upon proposal and with the collaboration of its Commission, announces the National writing competition 'Architecture of Words', this year in its fifth edition. A project sponsored by the APPC National Council and the National Diary Archive Foundation.
The Competition is inspired by the work 'Architecture of words' written by Carlo Mollino, a leading architect in the context of Italian and European architecture of the twentieth century.

Participation is free and open to all.
