Negroni Talk: net-hero-to-zero

Created in 2018, The Negroni Talks – hosted by architects Fourthspace and sponsored by Campari – were set-up to replicate the lively and provocative debates that took place in the European café culture of the early twentieth century. This lively debate series has taken the architecture scene by storm, picking up an Archiboo Award in 2021 and spawning a host of articles and wider industry conversations.
