Corporate museum
Corporate Museum has experienced more than one hundred years of growth, and it has become a significant member of the museum-associated universe because of its unique character. Meanwhile, the commercialization and multiplicity of the public museum have blurred the discrepancies between them. Many corporate museums are currently popular cultural tourist sites and representations of regional identities. By depicting an image of a corporate museum’s identity, this book critically investigates the design features of this type of museum, deriving insights from an examination of both its public presentation and its corporate task. It aims to present a basic overview of the corporate museum, including its history, in order to better examine the subject in an appropriate context. With the help of multi-interface examination of selected cases, this book intends to flesh out that the corporate museum serves both a commercial nature and also the public interest.
Advances in Utopian Studies and Sacred Architecture
At a time dominated by the disappearance of Future, as claimed by the French anthropologist Marc Augé, Utopia and Religion seem to be two different ways of giving back an inner horizon to mankind. Therefore this book, on the one hand, considers the importance of utopia as a tool and how it offers an economic and social resource to improve cities’ wealth, future and livability. On the other, it explores the impact of religious and cultural ideals on cities that have recently emerged in this context. Based on numerous observations, the book examines the intellectual legacy of utopian theory and practices across various academic disciplines. It also presents discussions, theories, and case studies addressing a range of issues and topics related to utopia.

Joe Colombo
“Questo è un saggio illustrato sulla ricerca e la progettazione di spazi abitativi non convenzionali. Affronta il tema dell’interior design di Joe Colombo (Milano 1930-1971) dalla metà degli anni ‘60 alla sua prematura scomparsa nel 1971. Colombo agisce secondo una concretezza visionaria che non si limita a immaginare un futuro. Punta soprattutto a liberarsi dai luoghi comuni dell’abitare. Lo spazio del designer milanese si concretizza nell’utilizzo di una figurazione di impronta meccanica molto evocativa. Un modo di operare, al tempo stesso concreto e visionario che ne rende l’opera estremamente utile. Soprattutto nel definire spazi flessibili e formalmente inediti di cui l’abitare – oggi – dimostra di avere grande bisogno”. (S.O)
