Silence and Empitiness. Architecture. Astrophysics. Psychology.

On April 16th, during the days of the Milan Design Week, at 10 pm, the director of Domus will talk about Silence and Emptiness (themes of the April 2018 issue) with the professor and psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati and astrophysicist Fabio Peri, director scientific of the milanese planetarium. It will be a one hour performance, held at the planetarium because the concept of silence begins from the starry sky, that sky of the Milky Way and that was the origin of everything.
