Park Books Armando Ronca: Architettura del Moderno in Alto Adige 1935-1970
This is the first-ever monograph on Verona-born architect Armando Ronca (1901-70), a significant protagonist of Italy's post-war Modernism. Following his studies in engineering in Genoa, Torino, and Padova he started working as an architect in Trento before he established his own studio in Bolzano in 1935. Ronca soon became a leading proponent of Modernism in architecture in Northern Italy. In 1944, he opened a second studio in Milano, where the 1948 expansion of the San Siro football stadium in collaboration with the structural engineer Feruccio Calzolari was the largest single project of his entire career. This new book documents Ronca's life and work, featuring in detail some forty of his designs mainly in the Trentino-Alto Adige and Lombardy regions, richly illustrated with original plans and drawings by Ronca and period photographs. Newly commissioned images by Austrian architecture photographer Werner Feiersinger present all of Ronca's preserved buildings in their current state. Essays by Andreas Kofler, Massimo Martignoni, Giorgio Mezzalira, Magdalene Schmidt, Luigi Scolari, and Jorg Stabenow, and a complete catalogue of Ronca's built and unrealised projects and interior designs round out the book. Text in Italian and German.

Park Books New Architecture in South Tyrol 2012-2018
Architecture in Italy's northern-most province Alto Adige, or South Tyrol as the largely German-speaking region is also known, has boomed for the past three decades. Many local architects have gained much international recognition and acclaim for their designs that show a great sense of location and materialisation. New Architecture in South Tyrol 2012-2018 highlights some forty buildings in the region realised between 2012 and 2018 that exemplify the particular qualities of local contemporary architecture. The selection, put together by an international jury, documents a vast range of typologies in all parts of South Tyrol through images, plans and concise texts. It offers a comprehensive survey of recent architectural trends and developments in this alpine environment and allows for international comparison. The book is a lavishly illustrated and an up-to-date portrait of a region with a lively and innovative architectural scene that is rooted in a rich tradition of craftsmanship.
