Unidentified Flying Object for Contemporary Architecture
The first monographic publication focused on the Florentine UFO group (1968-1978), that conducts a historical analysis of its work, reveals its close relationship with the contemporary artistic, literary and architectural avant-garde and, finally, investigates its legacy for the contemporary project.

" La prophétie s'est réalisée, moins parmi les historiens, que dans la mémoire collective, à l'ombre du Général de Gaulle.
