Abstract

The seventh volume of the Milanese Architecture Itineraries series has been published, which since 2013 has translated the thematic itineraries organized by the Foundation of the Order of Architects of Milan into editorial products.‘Asnago and Vender in Milan’ proposes a contemporary reinterpretation of the works of Mario Asnago and Claudio Vender, independent exponents of the Milanese Modern Movement who have contributed to the changing face of the Lombard capital from the 30s to the 60s of the twentieth century.The itinerary of the book winds along the streets of Milan, starting from the early years of the professional activity of the two protagonists and embracing 30 years of their career, from 1937 to 1967, to offer a complete overview of the Asnago-Vender architectures in the city.

Abstract

When we hear of Milan, we think of fashion, soccer, or Leonardo da Vinci. Yet Milan is a leading global city economically as well, regarded as one of the “Four Motors in Europe.” How did Milan become a city of such importance both economically and artistically? Its remarkable position is the result of the constant modernization Milan undertook throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The city’s upper classes were the main drivers of this development, which made Milan a true metropolis—one that reflected their common interests, rooted in keen entrepreneurship, a sense of history, and their origins.In Ideas of Ambiente, Angelo Lunati investigates the relationship among the Milanese upper class, its specific urban culture, and architecture. Lunati realizes his homage to a metropolitan bourgeoisie through the comprehensive concept of “ambiente,” reaching beyond the mere built environment to comprise much wider cultural and social aspects as well. Ideas of Ambiente invites us to appreciate Milan’s architectural trajectory, from its initial romanticism via bold modernism to the elegant yet politically charged aesthetic of the post-WWII period. Lunati demonstrates how the “ambiente” works as a binding agent to which certain neighborhoods owe their environmental unity and how it makes a consistently modern architecture just the latest expression of a historical continuity.

Abstract

“The idea of the igloo came to me one night when we were discussing the exhibition. Marisa, Pistoletto, Boetti, and the others from Turin were there. We were talking and I said : ‘I want to make a hemisphere to support a load of earth.’ The written phrase was a long phrase by General Giáp. During that time, the situation in Vietnam was tragic, and I had been struck by those words, which I had read in a book: ‘If the enemy masses his forces he loses ground; if he scatters he loses strength.’ It is an extraordinary, insightful phrase that offers a glimpse into how things work. It is a pessimistic phrase, but it is directed at the enemy. But I interpreted it as though it were aimed at the individual too. It is tremendous, isn’t it ? Because there is never a balance between the two zones, it is so static that it destroys itself.” —Mario Merz in conversation with Harald Szeemann. Published to coincide with the exhibition Igloos at the Pirelli HangarBicocca, curated by Vicente Todolí in collaboration with the Fondazione Merz, this volume outlines the multiple trajectories that led to one of Mario Merz’s most significant bodies of work: the igloos. Essays by Germano Celant, Lisa Le Feuvre, Pietro Rigolo, and Mariano Boggia complement a lavish array of illustrations and hitherto unpublished documents, including a 1974 interview with Merz conducted by Harald Szeemann, and a photographic reconstruction of the Igloos exhibition

Abstract

Is there such a thing as "Impressionist sculpture"? Since 1881 when Edgar Degas presented 'Little Dancer Aged Fourteen' at the Sixth Impressionist Exhibition in Paris, the term has existed along with the discourse around it. This book is dedicated to the extensive examination of the question of what it would mean to translate the characteristics of Impressionist painting, such as light, color, ephemerality, and immateriality into sculpture. The book features a selection of artists including Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, and Medardo Rosso, and examines the artistic processes that traverse genres in which one medium is enhanced by others.
