ATRIUM ASSOCIATION

ATRIUM- Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes of the XX century In Europe’s Urban Memory” Association was born in June 2013 in order to promote and manage the ATRIUM European Cultural Route, a new Cultural Itinerary of the Council of Europe connecting several cities and countries of Europe which share architectural heritage of the different totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. The ATRIUM transnational itinerary provides, among others, a way for European citizens to explore certain aspects of the complex and uncomfortable twentieth-century history, looking at traumatic events through the prism of urban landscapes. Main goals of the Association are: • disseminating knowledge, protecting and promoting the European heritage - both tangible and intangible- associated with the architecture and history of the 20th century; • coordinating the local tourist itineraries within the framework of an ATRIUM transnational route; • carrying out activities aimed at fostering the study, knowledge and development of the cultural and architectural sites and itineraries in cooperation with universities and research centres;
