Artists and architects of great talent and fame such as Giuseppe Terragni, Cesare Cattaneo, PietroLingeri, Gianni Mantero, Manlio Rho, Mario Radice, Aldo Galli, Carla Badiali, Carla Prina and others lived and worked in Como and around its territory during early part of the 20th Century.

MADE in MAARC is determined in enlightening the extraordinary international interest for this local artistic and cultural experience, by creating a worldwide network with the international cultural community. We aim to collaborate with Universities, Foundations, cultural associations and scholars who are eager to share, collaborate and contribute in developing new research and design initiatives founded on the principles of Rationalist Art and architecture, that is deeply rooted in theory, practice and action.

To achieve our tasks our cultural organization, in co-operation with academic institutions and public administrations, organizes seminars, exhibitions and conferences, International Workshops on Architecture and Urban Design that expounds on Rationalist Art and Architecture, that is most relevant in light of current paradigm shifts, design education and technological advancements in design-related disciplines.

Also, MADE in MAARC regularly organizes cultural visits in Como and Milan area and shares the rich experiences of these visits on the MAARC website which hosts the Virtual Museum.

MADE in MAARC cultural association is open to contributions from anyone who shares our goals and objectives.
