Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The "villino", planned in the northern Rome among 1953 and 1959, is a singular building. It can be shortly described as a volume cutted horizontally by an open air floor that generate two solids connected by a couple of stairs that, in a "constructivist" act, climb the sky to form a wide terrace -with a great view on Rome- whose function is connected to only one flat. Luccichenti, thanks to this actions (the cut, the stairs, the terrace), is able to superimpose two autonomous blocks in one only building. This typological hybridization between palace and villa in one building make complete an experiment that many architects, even nowadays, are not able to lead. This sophisticated compositive mechanism is in its sharp "lecture": the path that leads from the first idea to the final construction of the "villino Trionfale" keeps more than 5 years. If 5 years seems a short time to a contemporary Italian architect, it was a very long period in the fifties, that I like to attribute to the deep theory work by Luccichenti.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The 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.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The 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.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The pavilion that Zavanella, an architect from Mantua, Lombardy based in Milan builds on behalf of the Officine Meccaniche of Milan is a railway shelter where the so-called Belvedere, the OM railcar designed by him, end its maiden voyage during the Milan Fair, in 1948. The OM shelter is composed by a refined balance of constructive elements in tension, in which the dynamism of forms is revealed in one of his most audacious proofs of exhibition architecture.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Set in the widest urban neighbourhood of the fascist Rome, the "casa delle armi" building show the deep and sophisticated typological research around the "balilla houses". Born as an advanced typological experiment it is the most modern of the "National Balilla Opera" buildings: an architecture both with a solid image and a massive functional complexity. The "fluxes" of athletes and the one of clients are sharply driven with no interference in the body of the building. Notwithstanding such a complexity, the parts are clear: two different immense interiors so much different each other. But, like in a Dostoevsky drama, the plot meet some troubles that made impossible the full completion and the celebration of its success. Quickly inaugurated, never really opened, abandoned and soon forgotten, it can be told that the building was born dead. Its oblivion lasted for thirty years when, in the eighties, the need to find a safe place to celebrate the trials against the terrorism, convinced the Ministry of Justice to finally destroy the interiors.The aim of this book is rather not to enter in the field of refurbishment of modern architecture than to tell about the story and the composition rules of this architecture: an affresco of the history and political, urban and architectural frame in which "Casa delle armi" is set. A very sharp 3d model help to come over the old shots imposed by the architect to the photographer, to set new points of view discovering, again, new sides and emotions.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. One of the last works from Luigi Moretti tells us many things about his final approach to one of the most actual themes studied by the architects of the XXI century: the landscape. Here Moretti succeeded to have a fusion between "subject" and "object" designing a building whose aim is to disappear, to become landscape itself. No surprise until we see that our architect work crosses many different historical periods keeping quite unchanged his method: from the fascism to the Seventies Moretti was coherent. From the Classical monumentalism of the fascist period to the baroque approach of the Fifties his work has always moved to the direction of perception of space more than mere formalism. The Guendalina Salimei's book reveals, for the first time, how one of the main instruments for the project is the "section". Taking the Michelangelo's lesson, all the masses float above, leaving the ground express as a free form of art.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This small house on the sea in a small city near Rome is one of the most amazing experiments made by the Italian architect. Strictly connected to the landscape, such as the Adalberto Libera's casa Malaparte in Capri, this building captures the landmarks of the Roman coast through small deformations in its composition. This particular research inspected by the Architect that, at the first glance, could remember an expressionist gesture, is instead a very interesting work on how to evolve the modern Italian architecture in a "contemporary" way avoiding that nostalgic behaviour taken by many members of Modern Italian Rationalist Architecture Movement (MIAR). As usual this book looks inside, outside and around this building as a "lecture" held by the writer.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Between 1957 and 1960, Giovanni Michelucci, already involved in other important projects such as the church of San Giovanni Battista, known to most as the "church of the Autostrada del Sole", or the buildings for the University of Bologna, created a minor but no less significant work in Ferrara. The covered market hall in Ferrara, a Franciscan project, made up of simple elements and characterized by a marked morphological and structural sincerity, is in reality a complex object that operates on a city scale: a "forum" that gives the compact fabric of Ferrara a covered multi-purpose square capable of transforming itself over time. This book narrates and analyses it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Visiting a museum is an experience that normally sets our concentration on the artworks or on its architecture.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Casa Malaparte is an Adalberto Libera project. This statement, that dazzle hypothesis dealing with uncertain paternity, is based on the following arguments: the experts who study this architecture without architect collect documents and evidences that partially recompose a picture that, however, lack many fragments. Like in a presumptive trial the experts analyze the documents to demonstrate how, after the first plan and its second version, Libera sneaks out to leave a leading role to Malaparte. The parts of this puzzle, patiently recomposed to demonstrate the role of Malaparte in the plan of the villa on Capo Massullo, invoke the missing fragments that would confute the appearance. Lost fragments can be properly found observing casa Malaparte. Accusations are based on the substantial difference between the first plan made by Libera for the building licence the 14th of March 1938 and the final result. This lack of correspondence, together with the absence of the architect from the building site since April 1938, leave many doubts about its real paternity. The story is made up of few chapters, short text, wide bibliography and a chronological section that fix in time the facts. The three versions of the project are read by graphic and comparative analysis. Two models have been made to show differences and new sights. This small book illustrate facts, and comments about one of the most famous and fine modern Italian building, considering that Adalberto Libera is the author of Casa Malaparte.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The book wants to analyse and integrate landscape, urbanism and architecture going from large to small scales, from macro to micro areas and from micro to macro, making a complete analysis. The topics keywords are: land-form, sensitive limits, urban geographies, land- marks, reuse and living machine; always highlighting both the natural landscape and anthropogenic. The reuse theme is pivotal, not only for the current feedback which includes preservation and recovery both of buildings and landscapes; but also because it is an opportunity to overlay, ideally, more stories, reading and traces of time, past and present. The reuse, with its targeted and specific interventions, faces memory themes and the new building or landscape life, energy, configuration and sometimes new features.
