Zeppelin evenings are a series of conferences dedicated to architecture, design and urban culture, an education and communication project launched in early 2008. Starting with 2011, the event takes places in the Aula of “Charles I” Central University Library. This open platform accumulated, in 45 editions (December 2012) to over 11,000 participants and regularly proposed meetings with architects, designers and artists all over the world. The project of zeppelin evenings means an open scene for art and intellectual interaction. The topic of that interaction is always the city, architecture, urbanity, but in a transcultural perspective, with mixes of ideas and content, fertile and original. The aim of the evenings is to support cultural practice based on dialogue, cooperation and interdisciplinary.
