Structura is an Italian cultural association based in Rome, Italy, dedicated to the study, preservation, promotion and critical interpretation of video games and interactive arts as cultural heritage.
Operating at the intersection of academia, cultural institutions and the creative industries, Structura works to position video games as fully recognised cultural artefacts and as works of interactive expression with artistic, social and historical relevance. Its mission is to build long-term frameworks for research, preservation, education and public dissemination around interactive works.
The association develops and coordinates projects in the fields of video game preservation and documentation, archival research and historical reconstruction, public programmes and conferences on interactive culture, academic collaboration and higher education initiatives, as well as cultural advocacy at national and European level. Through partnerships with universities, museums, publishers and international networks, Structura contributes to strengthening the cultural legitimacy of video games and fostering structured dialogue between heritage institutions and the interactive industry.
Structura is committed to supporting European cooperation in preservation policies, shared standards and knowledge exchange, contributing to a sustainable ecosystem for game archives, museums and research centres.
