Enchanting architecture. The Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm by Gio Ponti. Ediz. italiana e inglese by Maria Sica Pdf

Il libro celebra, attraverso un duplice percorso narrativo, l'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Stoccolma, progettato e arredato da Gio Ponti su commissione di Carlo Maurilio Lerici. I contributi degli autori si pongono l'obiettivo di approfondire gli aspetti legati alla committenza, alla progettazione e realizzazione dell'edificio e del design degli interni. Corredano il volume una selezione di immagini tratte dall'archivio storico dell'Istituto e un nuovo reportage fotografico sugli elementi architettonici e di design che connotano l'edificio. Se l'interesse di Ponti nei confronti della Svezia è argomento noto (si pensi agli spazi dedicati al design svedese nelle pagine della rivista «Domus» sin dai primi anni Cinquanta), risulta interessante approfondire e trovare risposte inerenti le dinamiche che hanno vivacizzato la realizzazione della struttura. Gio Ponti supera infatti l'idea originaria dell'architetto svedese Ture Wennerholm, per dar vita a un progetto dove gli spazi, sebbene organizzati in base alla loro funzione, si susseguono in un gioco armonioso di linee spezzate e alternanze cromatiche. Lo affiancheranno in questa impresa Pier Luigi Nervi e Ferruccio Rossetti. Gio Ponti dà vita a un progetto "classico moderno", dove arte e architettura si fondono, dimostrando di aver superato i limiti dettati dalle mode del tempo. E pone così le basi di un nuovo corso nelle relazioni culturali tra Italia e Svezia.

Gio Ponti. La Congregazione Religiosa Di Notre Dame de Sion. Ediz. Italiana E Inglese by Cinzia Abbate,Carlo Vigevano Pdf

Monograph dedicated to an unknown project by Gio Ponti: the house of the religious congregation of Notre Dame de Sion, built in Rome between 1960 and 1965. The reasons and circumstances as to why the building has remained anonymous till now is unknown. The complete collection of project pencil drawings on tracing paper, preserved at the CSAC archives in Parma, have never been opened and are published here for the first time. In 2014, the building needed to be converted to house two important foreign Catholic universities (the Catholic University of America and the Australian Catholic University). There was a need for student residential and teaching buildings, which gave the architects Cinzia Abbate and Carlo Vigevano (AeV Architetti Associati) who edited this publication, the opportunity to carry out historiographic and philological research on the original project to establish the restoration project plans for the modern structure. The building was revealed thanks to the contribution of several experts of Ponti?s work: Maristella Casciato, Margherita Guccione, Salvatore Licitra, Elena Tinacci, Marina Kavalirek. The book is enriched with the addition of very detailed original drawings of the furnishings that still exist 50 years after the project was designed.

Modern Architecture and the Mediterranean by Jean-Francois Lejeune,Michelangelo Sabatino Pdf

Bringing to light the debt twentieth-century modernist architects owe to the vernacular building traditions of the Mediterranean region, this book considers architectural practice and discourse from the 1920s to the 1980s. The essays here situate Mediterranean modernism in relation to concepts such as regionalism, nationalism, internationalism, critical regionalism, and postmodernism - an alternative history of the modern architecture and urbanism of a critical period in the twentieth century.

The Hot House by Andrea Branzi Pdf

The Hot House is in part a manifesto and in part a noncanonical history of the most progressive and heretical experiments in the applied arts and design. Covering two centuries of avantgarde designs, but concentrating on the 1950s to the present, the book looks at architecture and urban design as well as graphic, interior, exhibit, industrial, and fashion design. It discusses the role that such magazines as Casabella, Domus, and Modo have played on this lively front, and provides an insider's view of such figures and groups as Alessandro Mendini, Gaetano Pesce, Alychmia, Global Tools, Michele De Lucchi, Ettore Sottsass, and-the design world's hot new movement-Memphis. It also elucidates such concepts as banal design, soft design, radical architecture, and color cultures, and relates these and other design developments to social and political issues. Protagonist of many of these experiments, Andrea Branzi calls for a theory and practice in which the old methods and instruments - pencil, square, and compass - are rendered obsolete, and the formal commandments of modernism - comfort, function, and style - are banished. If Branzi's vision of the new domestic landscape bears any relation to the future home, the places we live and objects around us are on the verge of being radically transformed. The Hot House dramatically expands the theoretical and operative limits of design. While precedents to Il Nuovo Design (The New Design) can be found in everything from Art Deco to De Stijl to Pop Art to California funk, Italy is the center of this new phenomenon and the "hot house" of its most intense activity. Beginning in the 1960s, there emerged a number of design studios that went by names like Archizoom, 9999, Superstudio, and UFO; their products redefined the basic architecture of furniture and clothing and polemicized an entire discipline. Andrea Branzi, architect and designer, has been a leading force in Italian design since the 1960s. As the founder of Archizoom Associates and member of the experimental design collective Global Tools, he is responsible for many of the experiments described in this book. He lives and works in Milan, where he is Educational Director of Domus Academy and Editorial Director of Modo.

Crafting Design in Italy by Catharine Rossi Pdf

Crafting design in Italy is the first book to examine the role that craft played in the history of post-war Italian design, one the most celebrated episodes in twentieth century design. Craft was vital to the development of design in Italy from 1945 to the 1980s, and yet as often as this storyhas been told, it is incomplete. Missing is the overlooked but multiple role that craft played - as a method of manufacture, set of disciplines and traditions, materials and ideas.This book examines the multiple ways that craft shaped Italian design from 1945 to 1981. It is organised in four chapters, each of which focus the different ways that Italy's architects engaged with craft in the context of the bigger socio-economic, cultural and political changes of the period, fromthe imperatives of post-war reconstruction to the explosion in luxury in the economic "miracle" of the 1960s, to the experimentation of Radical Design and the postmodern adventures of Studio Alchimia and Memphis. It uses a series of case studies on design areas including product, furniture, fashion,glass and ceramics to bring to light previously unknown makers and objects as well as re-examine design "icons" such as Gio Ponti's Superleggera chair and Ettore Sottsass's Carlton bookcase. This project uses the concept of craft to offer a radical re-reading of post-war Italian design. It also setsout to provide a paradigm for using craft-based approaches and analysing design and craft's relationship in other cultures and contexts.

Ettore Sottsass by Ronald T. Labaco,Dennis P. Doordan Pdf

"Ettore Sottsass: Architect and Designer - the first significant study of the work of Sottsass for over a decade - emphasizes the continuing diversity and innovation of his professional life while illuminating his personal design philosophy, his belief in the intimate relationship between design and the individual, and his fundamental humanity and joie de vivre. Drawing in particular on the work of the two decades since Sottsass left the Memphis collective, this book reassesses his relationship to Modernism and Postmodernism, analyzes the increasing importance to Sottsass of his own architectural practice, and considers both his acceptance and his rejection of the traditional use of materials. In a series of interviews specially undertaken for this book, Sottsass reflects on the cross-currents of ideas and influences that have guided his long career."--BOOK JACKET.
