Abstract

Entre 1990 et 1998, Guido Guidi a effectué cinq voyages distincts à Milan et dans ses environs. Cinque viaggi rassemble les photographies qui y sont réalisées, formant une enquête sur une ville et ses périphéries en pleine transformation économique et sociale. Alors que Guidi suit le canal de la banlieue vers le centre-ville, son attention et son langage visuel passent de la langue vernaculaire au métropolitain, des vues horizontales plus larges aux « coupes » verticales dans le tissu urbain, des bâtiments et des scènes entiers aux façades et aux portes aperçues. En chemin, nous rencontrons également des habitants: un groupe de jeunes hommes rassemblés dans une scène semblable à celle de Pasolini sur un pont à la périphérie de la ville; les passants occasionnels qui travaillent, font du shopping ou s’arrêtent pour fumer dans les rues de la ville; des couples déconnectés et des individus disparates dont la citoyenneté lâche coïncide avec l’étalement urbain. Alors que des livres précédents, tels que Per Strada (2018) et Tra l’altro (2020), ont démontré la fascination de Guidi pour les paysages ruraux et de petites villes de sa région natale, Cinque viaggi se tourne vers l’Italie métropolitaine, documentant les changements socio-économiques dramatiques qui l’ont transformée au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles. Vestiges de la civilisation rurale et traces d’expansion urbaine figurent parmi les premiers signes de désindustrialisation. Ces 110 œuvres de grand format, dont beaucoup n’ont jamais été vues auparavant, révèlent les couches de l’histoire sociale et architecturale parmi lesquelles se déroule la vie quotidienne. Cinque viaggi offre une image saisissante et subtile du passé récent de l’Italie et des ruminations sur son avenir. Avec des essais de Corrado Benigni, Antonello Frongia et Roberta Valtorta.

Abstract

One hundred and one years since his birth, the Milanese architect and designer Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) is being celebrated in the Palazzo dell'Arte in Milan, where he took the first steps in a long and fruitful career, with a monographic exhibition that seeks to create a dialogue between the different areas of his whole œuvre (Triennale Milano, 13 April - 12 September 2021). The exhibition, organized with the collaboration of the Fondazione studio museo Vico Magistretti, and the book, have as their object the precious heritage of drawings, sketches, models, photographs, videos, prototypes and original pieces preserved in the Magistretti Archive, together with materials from the archives of companies, institutions and individuals. Divided into thematic sections, Vico Magistretti's work is presented for the first time in a unified and interrelated way, to render the breadth of his activity and so offer an up-to-date and extended critical interpretation beyond the celebration of his most famous icons: from the design of exhibitions to urban design, from furniture to product design, from prefabrication to interior architecture, from middle-class clients to "homes for all", from traditional to industrial materials, from geometric rigor to figurative expressionism.

Abstract

The Urban Fact examines Aldo Rossi’s formulation of a theory of the city, developed over the period of roughly ten years, from Architecture of the City published in 1966, to Analogous City exhibited in 1976. Rossi’s theory is not taken as an abstract argument, but is seen through his work from that period. A careful selection of twenty-three projects is presented here at face value. These projects, bound by the reality of their setting, but also charged with cultural and civic ambition, illustrate the intricacy of an architectural project as a complex “whole”. They also demonstrate how architecture could contribute to the changing urban context of the field, hinting at an oeuvre painfully aware of its limitations and stubborn in its intentions.
