"The Brothers Valley as early as the Seventies (...) an architectural sense that will increasingly offer integrated services in addition to author projects, will provide operational efficiency and certainty in the conduct of time and resources invested. It is no accident that (...) to study the Valley is one of the few Italian firms to win major competitions and international public commissions from the sixties, with the dual of the project to Auschwitz Birkenau and Expo in Osaka, to the recent plans for Bari and Brussels. " Luca Molinari says in his book dedicated to the critical studio.Franco Pure, in contrast to the rest of the academic world, said in an interview that "the work of Thomas Valley technology is purified by the most superficial and demo content and reduced to a measuring architectural harmony in proportion to the effective simplicity of construction equipment. "
The exhibition, curated by Pippa Ciorra, will be hosted in the prestigious monumental complex of San Michele, Rome, already home to other important events of contemporary architecture. The exhibition tells the whole story design of the study, the first striking designs of the late fifties, as the war memorial at Auschwitz to research more radical sixties, as the Italian Pavilion at Expo 'in Osaka or the Palazzo dello Sport in Milan, to the Recent achievements such as the new Fiera di Roma is the new home of the EU Council in Brussels. The spacious former juvenile prison complex of San Michele will host an exhibit that will tend to return the entire development of each design of the study. The criterion exhibition will be based on three elements: an integrated system of video, collection of pictures and interviews to document the activities, Key meetings (by Joseph Vaccaro Richard Neutra, Frank from Pure to Ove Arup and Buro Happold), the graphic and artistic inclinations, the events that have marked the life of the Valley, a long sequence of display shelves which will house mostly models and models (about 90), drawings, architectural and technological projects, and finally find a place inside the cells the most significant thematic analysis and drawings.

The DARC will consider the exhibition at the Studio Valle as the beginning of a wider and varied range of exhibitions and study that will continue to focus attention on the work of professionals and Italian Roman ateliers, which, although secluded than the academic debate and little affected by the selective choices of the critics note, has often been a particularly important contribution, for the quantity and quality, the construction of the city.
the exposure and the monograph by Studio Valle "(...) an important opportunity to bring to the attention the public with a design team can deal with the urban contemporary, thanks to a flexible and dynamic modus operandi (...) ". Says Director General of the DARC Pio Baldi.
The exhibition will be published in a book / catalog, published by Skira and edited by Pippo Ciorra, Luca Molinari and Alessandro d'Onofrio, collecting and documenting these experiences with the entire course of the study, from a historiographical specific section dedicated to Caesar Valley until the newer buildings and those in the pipeline.
