First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city’s most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained façades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry. The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city’s most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively created by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility and a stylistic interplay of detail shots—such as stones, door handles, and handrails—with larger architectural views. The images are accompanied by outstanding written contributions from Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish, and Grazia Signori, together bringing a wealth of architecture, design, and natural stone expertise to guide the reader through the applied materials and fittings as well as the art-historical and social implications of each of the ingressi. As much an architectural city guide as an aesthetic study, the book provides the exact address and an annotated Milan map for all featured entryways, as well as the architect name and date of construction. In the well-documented realm of 20th-century Italian design, Kolbitz has stepped over the threshold and delivered a brand new area of inquiry in Milanese modernism. With the rigor of its multifaceted research, poised photography, and breadth of its featured hallways, this is an invigorating new reference work and an inside look at the city’s design DNA across high to low architecture.

Que signifie être historien à l'âge du numérique ? N’est-ce que participer à une évolution méthodologique, comparable à celle de l’introduction naguère des statistiques pour l’analyse du temps long ? Ne s’agit-il que de profiter d’une aubaine, l’offre de ressources numérisées à destination des "rechercheurs" de toute nature s’accroissant à une échelle exponentielle? Ou, au contraire, faut-il considérer avec circonspection la masse incessamment renouvelée d’une archive de l’internet dont la définition même n’est pas stabilisée?L’avènement du numérique dans le monde multimillénaire de l’écrit change l’approche historique comme, mutatis mutandis, le télescope spatial a démultiplié notre regard sur la voûte céleste.La science historique évolue non seulement en raison de la soudaine surabondance des documents et des locuteurs, mais encore par les conditions intellectuelles de sa production en réseau, ou celles, sociales et économiques, de sa diffusion. Ce livre dresse le nouveau panorama numérique du travail de l’historien et analyse les enjeux – et les risques – de l’écriture historique contemporaine.
