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.

Ce deuxième volume de la collection « Visions » consacré aux Halles de Schaerbeek explore un projet d'architecture publique dont le caractère exemplaire tient aux interventions progressives qui ont accompagné une aventure culturelle novatrice, née de la volonté d'opérateurs culturels, en marge des circuits institutionnels, de sauver un ancien marché couvert à la veille d'une destruction inéluctable. Trente ans de lutte et de chantiers successifs depuis 1973 ont permis le sauvetage et la réaffectation culturelle du lieu, tout à la fois écrin et outil de création et de diffusion multimédia. Les Halles sont aujourd'hui un lieu de programmation de spectacles vivants, de concerts, etc. internationalement reconnu, sans que son ancrage dans le quartier ne soit perdu de vue. Attestant de cette extraordinaire persévérance, nourrie tantôt par quelques-uns des meilleurs spectacles de la scène bruxelloise, tantôt par l'agitation des chantiers, nous avons conjugué dans ce livre les regards du compositeur Thierry De Mey, du sociologue Éric Corijn et du photographe Sébastien Reuzé, sans oublier le témoignage des architectes en charge de cette rénovation ingénieuse, Miriam Dubois et Jean de Salle, et des responsables de la programmation culturelle des Halles, Philippe Grombeer (1973-2002) et Annick De Ville (depuis 2002). http://www.lettrevolee.com/vision2.html
