The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design
This handbook offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world.
Visiting the Art Museum
Visiting the Art Museum: A Journey Toward Participation is a book about the visitor experience. It is written as a companion for visitors to and inside the art museum. The volume engages readers in transforming a common experience, the museum visit, into a sophisticated epistemological inquiry. The study of the visitor experience through an epistemological approach consists of the untangling of the academic disciplines that study and inform each step of this experience: urban studies, architecture, design, art history, art education, and nonprofit management. This journey follows a transformative bottom-up trajectory from experiential to epistemological, and, finally, reveals itself as empowering. The book unfolds as an edited volume, with chapters by different authors who are enthusiastic scholars in each discipline and addresses undergraduate students as citizens, master’s students as professionals, and scholars as teachers and researchers. Each reader will discover a kaleidoscopic world made of ideas, values, and possibilities for participation.

Reinventing Eastern Europe: Imaginaries, Identities and Transformations
This edited collection brings together a wide range of topics that shed light on the social, cultural, economic, political and spatio-temporal changes influencing post-socialist cities of Eastern Europe. Different case studies are presented through papers that were presented at the Euroacademia International Conference series. Imaginaries, identities and transformations represent three blocks for understanding the ways in which visual narratives, memory and identity, and processes of alterity shape the symbolic meanings articulated and inscribed upon post-socialist cities. As such, this book stimulates a debate in order to provide alternative views on the dynamics, persistence and change broadly shaping mental mappings of Eastern Europe. The volume offers an opportunity for scholars, activists and practitioners to identify, discuss, and debate the multiple dimensions in which specific narratives of alterity making towards Eastern Europe preserve their salience today in re-furbished and re-fashioned manners.
Architettura degli allestimenti
Ciò che caratterizza l’architettura non è la durata, ma lo spazio abitabile, un invaso atmosferico di aria e luce praticabile dal corpo umano, circoscritto da margini fisici e attrezzato. I suoi elementi costitutivi (rapporto col contesto, materiali, strutture edilizie, pavimenti, pareti, soffitti, serramenti, impianti tecnici, decorazione, arredi fissi e mobili), ma anche le utilità che consente o promuove, hanno durate temporali distinte e mutevoli, brevi (come nella maggior parte degli allestimenti) o lunghe (anche secoli o millenni). Se l’architettura è riuscita, i significati estetici che incarna (o ha incarnato, se l’opera è stata distrutta) sono invece perenni, come in ogni altra opera d’arte, anche se nel tempo può cambiare il loro riconoscimento. Il libro focalizza questa dialettica fra temporaneità e durata con un inquadramento teorico e un percorso storico relativo all’architettura degli allestimenti e degli interni nel costruito di valore storico nell’ultimo secolo. Gli esempi discussi sono presentati anche attraverso schede documentarie dedicate.
Konstantin S. Mel'nikov and the Construction of Moscow
A monograph devoted to the great Russian architect Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov, considered one of the leading interpreters of the aesthetic and social ideals of Constructivism, the Soviet avant-garde architectural movement. The volume offers a repositioning of Melnikov's works within the context of the Moscow of the Twenties and Thirties. It highlights his ideational (in the unrealised projects) and concrete (in those realised) contributions to the construction of contemporary Moscow through a selection of models, flanked by the original designs of the buildings, cartographic reconstructions of the city of Moscow and original photographs. The essays explore in detail Melnikov's biography, his professional education in the Twenties, Stuttgart's architecture school and the avant-garde (1918-1945), Melnikov and his dialogue with the city, and works from the first half of the Twenties up to 1936. The volume ends with the complete list of Melnikov's works and an up-to-date bibliography.
