This is a book in English on the Italian architects Mario Asnago (1896-1981) and Claudio Vender (1904-1986). Their city was mid-twentieth century Milan in transformation, and the extraordinary Milanese architectural scene of that time is revealed in their work and through the writings of their contemporaries. Cino Zucchi and Adam Caruso provide in-depth analyses of the conceptual and material qualities of the buildings, which are illustrated in survey drawings and photographs of a selection of Asnago Vender's urban projects. The book is the second in a series on The Limits of Modernism - a Forgotten Generation of European Architects.(Quelle: gta Verlag).

Rudolf Schwarz and the Monumental Order of Things by Adam Caruso,Helen Thomas Pdf

The product of a continuous European architectural and intellectual practice that bridged the Second World War, the work of Rudolf Schwarz (1897?1961) allows a deeper understanding of post-war German architecture. This book examines nine of his religious and secular buildings sited in the Rhineland, which are presented through new survey drawings and photographs. These are accompanied by Schwarz?s project descriptions and his lecture ?Architecture of Our Times? from 1958, which contextualizes his approach. Essays by Wolfgang Pehnt and an interƯ view with Schwarz?s wife, the architect Maria Schwarz, provide further insight into this complex oeuvre.

Buildings for Education by Stefano Della Torre,Massimiliano Bocciarelli,Laura Daglio,Raffaella Neri Pdf

This open access book presents theoretical and practical research relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in both design and construction processes are then analyzed, paying special attention to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategy as a tool for the integration of different disciplines. The final section is devoted to the built heritage and tools, technologies, and approaches for the upgrading of existing buildings so that they meet the new regulations on building performance. The book will be of interest to all who wish to learn about the latest insights into the challenges posed by, and the opportunities afforded by, a comprehensive school building and renovation program.

Ideas of Ambiente by Angelo Lunati Pdf

Weaving together an illuminating analysis of built projects with an equally close account of the city's economic and social culture, Angelo Lunati explores the central idea underpinning the making of modern Milan. Ambiente (literaly, "environment") is a term that is both evocative and vague: in a fuller and more complexe way than has previously achieved, this book traces its changing meanings from the Milanese architectural discourse of the late nineteenth century to the fertile postwar scene that formed around the charismatic figure of Ernesto Rogers. Ultimately, it defines ambiente as the binding agent that still gives quarters of the city a choral charcater, where individual buildings negotiate with each other to construct an environmental unity, and where a consistently modern architecture is just the latest expression of a historical continuity.

History of Construction Cultures Volume 1 by João Mascarenhas-Mateus,Ana Paula Pires Pdf

History of Construction Cultures Volume 1 contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines, tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political, social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.

Ingressi Milanesi by Lisa Desager,Lisa Janssens Pdf

The book 'Ingressi Milanesi, designing the in-between' presents a graphical and photographic analysis of twenty well chosen entrance halls in Milanese condomini or apartment buildings, located in the Magenta and Sempione district and built between 1920 and 1970.0A carefully chosen graphic expression helps to discover underlying similarities. The book concludes by bringing together elements of various uses in order to point to recurring elements and ultimately, design principles. The book is based on the research of Lisa Desager and Lisa Janssens at the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of Ghent University.0"Lisa Desager and Lisa Janssens' recognition and their analytic work is a precious work, not only because it contributes filling a lacuna given the scarcity in studies of this topic (for which great interest has been raised only recently) but even more so because of the scientific approach in studying the articulation of spaces and their 'modelling'. This work is, if not the first, surely one of the most in-depth analysis from the point of view of the study of architecture and its spatial inventions."0Francesca Picchi, architect and writer, Milan.

Architectural Guide Milan by Carlo Berizzi Pdf

From the 1920s onwards, Milan has become a laboratory of architecture due to architects such as Giuseppe Terragni, Gio Ponti and Giuseppe Pagano. Magazines such as Domus and Casabella were founded in the 1920s which influenced international debate throughout the 20th century. A new trend arose following the reconstruction of the city due to damages incurred during World War II: the city is now able to combine modernity with its existing context through the works of BBPR, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Franco Albini. These architects introduced the renowned design which is nowadays identified with Milan. In the last decade, an outstanding urban development took place owing to areas which feature the work of internationally renowned architects, including David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, as well as Italian architects such as Cino Zucchi and Stefano Boeri. Owing to its ambitious projects, Milan has transformed from an industrial city to a global capital of culture, fashion and leisure. This guide proposes thematic itineraries for discovering one of the most architecturally exciting European cities.

MCM – Milan, Capital of the Modern by Lorenzo Degli Esposti Pdf

MCM - Milano Capital of the Modern, edited by Lorenzo Degli Esposti, is made up of texts and images from over 300 contributors from Europe and the US, across three generations, involved in the activities of the Padiglione Architettura in EXPO Belle Arti of Vittorio Sgarbi, a programme by the Regione Lombardia hosted in the Grattacielo Pirelli during the EXPO 2015. They investigate the relationships between modern architecture, the city of Milan (Razionalismo, reconstruction, Tendenza, Radical Design, up to current research) and the city in general, between single and specific works and the large scale of the urban territory, in the contradictions between architecture autonomy and its dependence on specific place and historical time. The idea of MCM is that each capital of the Modern brings an original version of modernity in architecture: in the specific Milanese case, this kind of Modern is characterized by the simultaneous presence of abstract, systematic and syntactic features and an ontological conception of both buildings and architectural and urban voids.

Writing Architectural History by Aggregate Architectural History Collective Pdf

Over the past two decades, scholarship in architectural history has transformed, moving away from design studio pedagogy and postmodern historicism to draw instead from trends in critical theory focusing on gender, race, the environment, and more recently global history, connecting to revisionist trends in other fields. With examples across space and time—from medieval European coin trials and eighteenth-century Haitian revolutionary buildings to Weimar German construction firms and present-day African refugee camps—Writing Architectural History considers the impact of these shifting institutional landscapes and disciplinary positionings for architectural history. Contributors reveal how new methodological approaches have developed interdisciplinary research beyond the traditional boundaries of art history departments and architecture schools, and explore the challenges and opportunities presented by conventional and unorthodox forms of evidence and narrative, the tools used to write history.
