    Book SynopsisRome, the 'Eternal City', is not only enriched by buildings and monuments that preserve the culture of Italy in the symbolic centre of Christianity and the hub of the Italian Republic. The architecture of Rome also tells the story of a process of restoration and innovation.

    Book SynopsisAir Albania Stadium details the process from design to construction of the new stadium in Tirana, symbol of the renewal of the living conditions of a community that, while honouring its past traditions and history, wants to declare its full participation in contemporary European culture. The exceptional quality of the project consists of the idea that the sports complex one of the most advanced on the continent and, for that reason, chosen by the UEFA as the location for the final match of the Conference League tournament in 2022 was conceived as an urban structure fully integrated with the life of the city and located in an area to which it, merely by virtue of its presence, has contributed to redevelop entirely. The stadium or, rather, the urban complex that contains it, is the symbol of a cultural rebirth that places at the centre of every human activity the community that engages with the sports arena on a continuous, and not merely occasional, basis,

    Book SynopsisCatalogue of the TECHNOSCAPE exhibition, which will be held at MAXXI in Autumn 2022, focusing on the relationship between artistic and scientific disciplines, nowadays closer than ever, and the consequent contacts between technique, creativity and social awareness. Architecture, engineering and science have overlapped on numerous occasions during the 20th century. First in the heroic phase and then in the mature phase of the reinforced concrete, then with the affirmation of hi-tech construction methods in the 1970s and 1980s and finally with the eruption of digitally controlled technologies. TECHNOSCAPE explores this alliance, responding to MAXXI's mission to look towards the future of our planet and the disciplines that modify its spaces. The volume follows the dual register of the exhibition, first dealing with how technology is making architecture, urban planning and other related disciplines more aware of their technical and scientific responsibility and capable of opening up new lines of research. The focus shifts then to structural engineering, comparing current masterpieces with previous historical modernist examples.

    Book SynopsisThe past, present, and future of macro-architecture and how it constructs our landscape and ways of living and interacts with new urban spaces. Back in 1999 the Xunta de Galicia called an International Architecture Competition to build the City of Culture of Galicia on Mount Gaiás in Santiago de Compostela. Twelve proposals by renowned national and international architects' studios were initially submitted to this competition for ideas. Out of all these ideas, the final project to be selected for development was the design by Eisenman Architects, as – to quote the Jury – it was, “unique both in concept and plasticity, and exceptionally in tune with the site's location”. After ten years of intensive debate within Galician society and a meticulous building process, the City of Culture of Galicia is now becoming a reality.

    Book SynopsisEuropean cultural heritage is inherently complex and layered. In the past, conflicting or controversial perspectives on different historical memories and experiences have been colliding in the rich cultural landscape of European and continue to do so in the present. Contemporary projects of reactivation of contentious spaces seem to challenge both the traditional design parameters and the role of spatial practitioners.They require new strategies that effectively mix top-down and bottom-up impulses, through a new design approach that is still in search of a clear definition. Contested Spaces, Concerted Projects collects the stories of some selected cases of difficult built heritage, in order to highlight the most innovative methodologies of reactivation, by which architects, artists, designers and collectors have developed new participatory public interfaces.

  • Giuseppe Vaccaro. Childschool in Piacenza

    Ilios Editore Giuseppe Vaccaro. Childschool in Piacenza

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe book deals with a quite unknown but very dense building: a small kindergarden by Giuseppe Vaccaro. A characteristic way of thinking architecture is here expressed. In those years Vaccaro is involved in experiments on the topic of circular form or centric space. The relation among the geometrical "mark" and typology allow - such a scientific test - to seek and study reciprocal interferences. In the kindergarden the "mark" is the fence, expressing centrifugal space. This book investigate geometric schemes and variations in building to the difficult moment of refurbishment, that have made more damages than benefits, spoiling some important parts. Damages can be measured looking at the actual situation and the model here published. Watching the building and its site today stand out clear the intention of the architect: to build a place with as less parts as possible: a circumference, a line and a curved plan as a roof. The mysterious fence set in the park; its role is to "isolate" something as a clearing in the forest. Remembering the Laugier Cabane rustique, the kindergarden place the work of Vaccaro in the field of modern architecture. Seen today, the sketches and plans of this strange building seem contemporary. Their freshness make them a Koolhas or Hertzberger XXI century drawing.

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe book is dedicated to a fresh and interesting building - that can be classified as a little exhibition pavilion. Watching the old images kindly provided by the Franco Albini Foundation Archive, many theoretical and practical aspects of these works do not stand out clearly: the photographic medium seems to be unable to convey topics and suggestions of these experiments. The high concentration of contents normally given to the theme of pavilion seldom makes an architectural manifesto out of this particular typology, but when it happens, so many factors have to be taken into consideration, that the overall perception becomes harder. The fact that the eventual aim of this typology is to advertise something, happens to even raise the rate of complexity, pushing the architect towards a design that must not compete with the advertised brand. Does it seem little to you? It is, anyway, already quite enough to justify treating those "small works" as equals of the bigger and important architectures. The building is overload: proportions, rhythms, geometry and other architectural elements are shown in the book through the usual architectural 3d model and through "invisible edge" views. This way of presenting the buildings helps to understand for the first time, having removed the "chiaroscuro" and the back lighting of the photos, the structure and the exhibition apparatus designed by Albini. As a scientific experiment, important results are revealed: an astonishing presence of "transparency" and a deep and the hard battle among container and content.

    Book SynopsisThe particular type of "Seaside holiday camp" is a good sample of how the architectural research can solve problems. From 1930 to 1960 this new type is created and declined by Italian architects because many industries wanted to solve the problems of youth sickness of their worker's son. The best solution was to offer a summer period to spend in special buildings near the sea. Here child could have physical activity and have a special experience together with others. These buildings had to solve problems connected to sleeping, physical activity, free time and other normally not joined together in one building. Stefano Poli's book investigate one of the less known buildings of a quite unknown architect whose only problem was to be a Jew in a racist country. For the first time a yet existing building is completely told and drawn revealing the elegance and the architectural criteria of an important but unlucky architect.

    Book SynopsisExploring design works ranging from furniture and temporary art installations to interior design and architecture by CL3, founded by William Lim, and related studios Lim + Lu and Open UU, this book presents a fresh consideration of the essence of contemporary Asian design and how it has evolved over the past few decades.

    Book SynopsisDesign in Milan is a physical and palpable presence that can be seen in all work places: in the designer's studios, or factories where the objects from their activity are rendered, or even in the moment where all of these elements come together at the Salone del Mobile. Milan has long been a platform for creating design, central to the world of design, graphics and architecture. A world that constantly reinvent itself to stay fresh and competitive. The book covers major past events and their connection to Milan while also exploring the current situation and offers thoughts for the future. It shines a spotlight on the stories of many generations of Italian and Foreign Designers who share having contributed to the Milan design system, which became well established on an international scale over the span of nearly a century (1940-2020). The designers were chosen based on their connections to and the two common threads are the places where their creative design process happened and the voices of the designers themselves. Archive material provided by theirs and foundations as well as interviews with each of the protagonists of contemporary Milanese design show a range of points of view on the relationship between the city, its cultural system, and the Salone. This is a historic event thanks to the presence of structures, companies, and artisans who over time have made Milan a centre for commerce, training and professional growth. The comparison of the individual designers, through their enunciation of methods, approaches, and secrets of the trade, also emphasizes the different ways of interpreting the profession. Anyone coming from other cities, Italian or foreign, finds in Milan the ideal place to express themselves, adopting the creative and working spirit, understanding the "mysteries" that surround this extraordinary environment, and becoming manufacturers of new ideas and creations.Table of ContentsContents: Piero Portaluppi / Gio Ponti / Guglielmo Ulrich / Franco Albini / Ignazio Gardella / Bruno Munari / Osvaldo Borsani / Gino Sarfatti / Luigi Caccia Dominoni / Achille e Pier Giacomo Castiglioni / Marco Zanuso / Ettore Sottsass / Anna Castelli Ferreri / Vico Magistretti / Angelo Mangiarotti / Alberto Rosselli / Roberto Sambonet / Gae Aulenti / Joe Colombo / Aldo Rossi / Massimo Morozzi/ Cini Boeri / Alessandro Mendini /Enzo Mari/ Mario Bellini / De Pas D'Urbino Lomazzi / Nanda Vigo / Andrea Branzi / Pierluigi Cerri / Paolo Rizzatto / Alessandro Guerriero / Clino Trini Castelli / Alberto e Francesco Meda/ Antonio Citterio / Paola Navone / Denis Santachiara / Michele De Lucchi / Matteo Thun / Rodolfo Dordoni / Stefano Giovannoni/ Piero Lissoni / Marco Ferreri / Marco Romanelli / Mario Trimarchi / Massimo Iosa Ghini / Ferruccio Laviani / Ludovica+Roberto Palomba / Raffaella Mangiarotti / Jacopo Foggini / Giulio Iacchetti / Fabio Novembre/ Lorenzo Palmeri / Calvi Brambilla / Diego Grandi / Dimore Studio / Matteo Ragni / Odo Fioravanti / Cristina Celestino / Martinelli Venezia / Valerio Sommella / Chiara Andreatti/ Antonio Arico / Paolo Dell'Elce / Studio Klass/ Richard Sapper / Makio Hasuike / Isao Hosoe/ George Sowden / Marc Sadler / William Sawaya / Nathalie Du Pasquier / Studio Irvine/ Patricia Urquiola / Lorenz+Kaz / Ron Gilad / Philippe Nigro / Nendo / Kensaku Oshiro / Keiji Takeuchi / CTRLZAK studio / Philippe Tabet / Riccardo Dalisi / Gaetano Pesce / Carlo Contin/ Paolo Ulian / Martino Gamper / Ilaria Marelli/ Lorenzo Damiani / LucidiPevere / GamFratesi/ Marco Dessi / Luca Nichetto / Zaven / Matteo Zorzenoni / Paolo Cappello / formafantasma/ Lanzavecchia + Wai / Matteo Cibic / Mist-o / Zanellato Bortotto

  • Peeters Publishers L'insula V d'Herculanum: Transformations

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisCette monographie propose une analyse détaillée de l’architecture et du décor des édifices de l’insula V d’Herculanum. Fouillé entre 1931 et 1938, ce quartier d’habitations occupe une surface au sol de 3800 m2 environ. L’étude est menée dans une perspective diachronique, afin de mettre en lumière toutes les transformations successives du bâti et de l’ornatus des habitations. Le choix d’une analyse à l’échelle de l’insula, permet d’envisager les phases successives de lotissement et de modifications du parcellaire. On constate ainsi que loin de rester figées, les limites des habitations fluctuaient par regroupement, fusion, fragmentation d’édifices, en fonction des besoins de leurs occupants. Cette étude de l’histoire structurale de l’insula V s’accompagne aussi d’observations sur les programmes ornementaux et les choix opérés à ce sujet par les propriétaires des édifices, entre conservation de décors anciens et rénovation totale ou partielle des habitations. Ces recherches croisées alimentent des réflexions à caractère plus sociales et anthropologiques, sur les modes d’habiter dans une petite cité d’Italie au début de notre ère. Un des enjeux les plus problématiques suscités par l’analyse de l’espace domestique concerne l’articulation entre le « contenant » - une structure architecturale dont les limites sont a priori assez fixes et en tout cas rigides – et le « contenu », à savoir la familia, une entité dynamique, aux limites mouvantes. L’espace domestique tend à s’adapter aux évolutions de la cellule familiale, qui présente alternativement des tendances à l’inflation, puis à la fragmentation. Pour les villes d’époque romaine, et Herculanum en particulier, un objectif est donc d’envisager quels ajustements du point de vue de l’architecture des habitations ces métamorphoses continuelles des cellules familiales pouvaient générer. Quels types de solutions pouvaient être mis en œuvre, et quelles en étaient les conséquences du point de vue de l’architecture et de l’ornatus des maisons ? Cet ouvrage envisage ainsi l'étude de l'architecture domestique non à l'échelle d'une seule unité d'habitation, mais à l'échelle d'une insula toute entière afin d'envisager une analyse globale aussi bien synchronique que diachronique.

    Book SynopsisStructures which are conceived rationally have an order and logic which do not always fit into real world conditions of the irrational and the unpredictable in architecture. But what if structural ideas were explored as a condition in architecture which challenged the predictable? What if structure were not bound by its rational ethos but instead conceived in alternative approaches relevant to real-world irrationalities? And if the approaches lead to what is possible, then is structural eccentricity a norm or an anomaly in architecture? This book documents a series of design investigations that engage with conditions of shape, change and mutation, giving rise to design propositions dealing with eccentricity in structure. With illustrations and accompanying descriptions of the design process, this book is a useful reference for structural strategies in architecture.
