Abstract

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 identifi ed 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.

Abstract

During the second half of the 19th and much of the 20th centuries, Milan underwent a constant modernisation to become a true metropolis and Italy's economic centre of gravity. In particular between the 1880s and 1960s, the city's upper classes were the main drivers of this development. Their common interests rooted in keen entrepreneurship, a sense of history and of their own origins, and a high appreciation of culture and of ethical values combined with profound suspiciousness of ideologies. Angelo Raffaele Lunati investigates in his new book the relationship between this particular Milanese type of urban social class and culture and the architecture it forged. It is an homage to a metropolitan bourgeoisie standing out by its sense of responsibility and common welfare. Lunati follows the evolution of the idea of an 'ambiente', a very comprehensive concept of urban environment, from 19th-century's initial romanticism to the early 20th century's bold modernism and the elegant yet politically charged aesthetic of the post-WW II period.

Abstract

"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"--Amazon.com.

Abstract

In de laatste jaren is er veel over Aldo Rossi geschreven en is tevens ieder ontwerp van zijn hand meerdere malen geanalyseerd. Zijn architectuur en uitgangspunten worden nu verder ontwikkeld en vaak geïmiteerd door de nieuwe generatie architecten over de hele wereld. Dit boek wil op een heldere en complete wijze meer dan twintig jaar architectonische productie van Aldo Rossi samenvatten: dit niet alleen door middel van tekeningen en ontwerpen, maar ook door afbeeldingen van de gerealiseerde openbare en particuliere gebouwen, waarvan de omvang groter is dan men gewoonlijk denkt. Deze uitgave is uitgebreid met de laatste projecten van Aldo Rossi, inclusief zijn stedenbouwkundig en architectonisch ontwerp voor de Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam.
