The 2009 edition of the BEYOND MEDIA festival includes two exhibitions: SPOT ON SCHOOLS, an exploration, on an international basis, of state-of-the-art and cutting edge researches on the influence of the new media on the discipline of architecture; and URBAN VISIONS, an exhibition dedicated to projects of urban transformation which stand out not only for their architectural qualities, but also for the effectiveness and the pertinence of the forms of communication that have been used in order to present them to their audiences.
The third edition of the SPOT ON SCHOOLS exhibition, curated by Paola Giaconia, involves some twenty architecture and design schools which in the world distinguish themselves for their research and experimentation in the field of new media of communication.
