This book showcases for the first time the close ties between the American architect Louis Kahn, one of the twentieth-century Masters, and the city of Venice. Kahn's relationship with the Italian city date from his first stay in 1928 and continued over the decades with further visits. It was strengthened by his participation in the Biennale, his friendship with Carlo Scarpa, the various lectures he gave and above all his project, which remained on the drawing board, for a Palazzo dei Congressi. Said project, together with plans for a research centre for artistic creation, grew out of the encounter between Giuseppe Mazzariol and Louis Kahn in Philadelphia in April 1968. Designed for the Giardini Napoleonici in Venice, Kahn's spatial analysis encompassed the area of the Lagoon facing the project site and the principal architectural landmarks with which the new buildings were intended to interact.

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.
