Regeneration of Abandoned Spaces: A New Design Approach
Our urban landscapes are filled with "leftovers" - abandoned buildings and unused spaces, remnants of industrial decline and societal transformations. Regeneration of Abandoned Spaces: A New Design Approach investigates how design and architecture can revitalize these neglected areas, transforming them into dynamic, livable environments. This book is organized into three parts, each providing a comprehensive framework for addressing this multifaceted challenge. Part One explores the dynamic nature of modern living spaces and how interior design can adapt to the fluid lifestyles of contemporary nomads. It delves into advanced drawing techniques that capture the intricate complexities of these...
Approaches to Drawing in Architectural and Urban Design
Architects draw for a variety of purposes; they draw to assimilate places and precedents, to generate ideas, to develop a concept into a consistent project in a team, to communicate ideas and solutions to patrons and clients, and to guide building contractors during the construction stages, as well as to produce further elaborations in order to publish their project in a treatise, a journal or their own portfolio. Most importantly, architects draw to think and to manage complexity in a visual way. By taking into account innovative and interdisciplinary uses of architectural drawing in the design process, both historical and current, the collection of chapters and interviews in this book frames a new critical perspective and a uniquely contextual appreciation of drawing as a way to encourage spatial thinking and practice in architecture and urbanism. The authors take the discussion to a new level of philosophical sophistication, while also considering drawing in relation to a series of specific engagements with urban development, planning, and architecture.
Le Corbusier, History and Tradition
The view of modernism as representing an epistemological break between technology and history and tradition has long been challenged. Le Corbusier’s work has proved to be an inexhaustible reference point in this debate. This is due, on the one hand, to the legacy of nineteenth-century historicism, and on the other to his creative process of creation through destruction which, as John Summerson has noted, is comparable to the processes of avant-garde poets and painters. The contributions to this book explore particular episodes which bring to light both the operative role of the past in the creation of a new abstract synthesis, and Le Corbusier’s modernist historical consciousness. They illustrate how the past participated in the modernist creative process of abstract art, from the 1920s machine aesthetics to the late infatuation with myth. They also shed light on the extent to which the operative quality of the history was framed by a comprehensive historical vision that took the form of metanarrative, which neither the analytical studies on his architecture nor the synthetic approaches to his philosophical thinking should dismiss.
Les Intérieurs aujourd'hui
What makes an interior? Designed and projected by architects, interior architects, designers, visual artists, etc., interiors are lived, practiced, read and spoken about from a critical and transdisciplinary perspective.
Espaces de l'oeuvre, espaces de l'exposition
« Les mots ne sont pas innocents ; selon le contexte, ils peuvent jouer des rôles bien différents. Espace et Lieu, par exemple, peuvent parfois se comprendre comme des synonymes, même si l'un n'est que l'alter ego de l'autre, et vice versa. » Leur rapport avec les concepts d'œuvre et d'exposition s'est modifié au fur et à mesure des changements statutaires respectifs. Cet ouvrage vise ainsi à interroger le statut de l'espace d'exposition face aux propositions artistiques contemporaines. Il se développe autour des notions principales d'architecture muséale, d'œuvre et d'exposition, à partir des années 1960 et jusqu'à nos jours. Les études de cas (MAXXI, MAMCO, Fondation Trussa...
Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. 2022
L’Associazione Italiana per il Patrimonio Archeologico Industriale (AIPAI), in occasione dei suoi 25 anni, ha promosso i Secondi Stati Generali del Patrimonio Industriale. Per tracciare un bilancio ed elaborare strategie e visioni ha posto le condizioni per l’incontro tra gli addetti ai lavori e il confronto tra i molteplici ambiti operativi, di ricerca e istituzionali coinvolti. Ci si è riuniti a Roma e a Tivoli con la consapevolezza che il primo lascito dell’età industriale siamo noi, la nostra società con i suoi pregi e le sue contraddizioni, le incredibili conquiste degli ultimi secoli. La risposta è stata ampia e tra i numerosi contributi presentati in questo volume, si posson...
Gli archivi di architettura nel XXI secolo. I luoghi delle idee e delle testimonianze

La Casa del Fascio di Gallarate
Il volume, attraverso un percorso di conoscenza e di frequentazione della Casa del Fascio e del suo contesto, e secondo un rigoroso approccio critico, propone una riflessione ampia sulla storia dell’edificio e del suo Autore che qui trovano consolidamento metodologico e documentale, costituendo quindi un’occasione disciplinarmente rigorosa e aggiornata per ripensare al ruolo della ex Casa del Fascio, al suo rapporto con la città nel suo complesso, e con la piazza Garibaldi in particolare, di cui è fondale ma anche ideale prosecuzione. Il Palazzo, infatti, qualora fosse recuperato ad un ruolo sociale, civile e pubblico, e non meramente commerciale o utilitaristico, costituirebbe un polo di attrazione, luogo di incontri e di relazioni e potrebbe contribuire a ridefinire il nesso e il significato stesso del centro cittadino.
Leandro Valencia Locsin
The largely unknown oeuvre of the Philippine architect Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994) embodies the search for identity in the built environment. Having completed his studies, Locsin opened his practice in 1953 in the capital Manila which, after the aerial attacks by the Allied forces for the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, had been almost completely destroyed. The reconstruction, as well as technical innovations and favorable political and economic conditions, made it possible for him to design a wide range and large number of projects, including hotels, commercial buildings, churches, cultural venues, and public buildings. His work combines inspiration from modernism with local traditions and comprises a total of 245 projects, of which more than half were completed. The book presents a selection of the most important buildings and projects.
