LetteraVentidue Edizioni srl Dr Corbellini's Pills: Tips for Architecture Beginners
Architecture is doomed to a permanent process of reinvention, which produces constitutionally partial, transient and questionable truths. Much of its charm lies precisely in its instability, which insists we explore it and, at the same time, makes it difficult for us to classify and organise it into a shared knowledge. Architects are, therefore, always beginners and even the most seasoned ones will nd some tips among these "pills" to help them stay tuned with the world of architectural design and to make the most of practising it.

LetteraVentidue Edizioni srl Contested Spaces, Concerted Projects: Designs for Vulnerable Memories
European 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.

LetteraVentidue Edizioni srl Dialogues on Architecture
In this book, a number of protagonists of Italian modern architecture provide vivid dialogues – here taken to mean ‘the talking of the soul with itself’ – on how they perceive the interaction between idea, design and construction. Drawing on these personal views, Dialogues on Architecture explores the relationship that exists between the poetic and the technical-scientific spheres in architecture, underlining their complementary and conflictual natures. Dialogues on Architecture rejects the interpretation of architecture as orientated exclusively towards the end result and reconnects the previously interrupted narratives that follow a design from its conception to its completion. Featuring texts from Franco Albini, Lodovico B. di Belgiojoso, Guido Canella, Aurelio Cortesi, Roberto Gabetti & Aimaro Isola, Ignazio Gardella, Vittorio Gregotti, Vico Magistretti, Enrico Mantero, Paolo Portoghesi, Aldo Rossi, Giuseppe Terragni, and Vittoriano Viganò.

LetteraVentidue Edizioni srl Works and Omissions
What does narrating mean? It means more than telling a story. It would be like saying that The Brotherhood of the Grape is the story of an old alcoholic who tries to build a wall.

LetteraVentidue Edizioni srl Not Once Upon a Time: Verisimilar Architecture
This is a text born out of defiance. Often, architecture books that are conceived in universities and that collate the results of this or that lecturer’s teachings do not succeed in arousing any real interest from the architecturally-minded public, and even less from insiders. These are exercises and examples that are more concerned with expressing correct positions than with venturing into unfathomed terrain. This volume, rather, aims to take up the challenge of simplifying the texts as much as possible and maximising the seductiveness of the images, turning educational experimentation into a story displaying architecture inspired by novels. It is not a question of illustrating books, but of reviving stories and spaces that are related to them, and that no one has ever seen as urban and landscape environments. This text has deliberately omitted notes and captions on the designs, to help the reader perceive them in a more fluid and immediate manner and to take the reader directly to the centre of worlds unknown.
