The Project of Autonomy
"The Project of Autonomy radically rediscusses the concept of autonomy in politics and architecture by tracing a concise and polemical argument about its history in Italy in the 1960's and early 1970's. Architect and educator Pier Vittorio Aureli analyzes the position of the Operaism movement, formed by a group of intellectuals that produced a powerful and rigorous critique of capitalism and its intersections with two of the most radical architectural-urban theories of the day: Aldo Rossi's redefinition of the architecture of the city and Archizoom's No-stop City. Readers are introduced to major figures like Mario Tronti and Raniero Panzieri who have previously been little known in the English-speaking world, especially in an architectural context, and to the political motivations behind the theories of Rossi and Archizoom. The book draws on significant new source material, including recent interviews by the author and untranslated documents."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.

Tradizione Traduzione Tradimento in Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach
Il punto di partenza è il Progetto di un’architettura istorica. Entwurff einer Historischen Architectur (Vienna 1721) di Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, inteso come montaggio monumentale mentale per la costruzione di una nuova architettura e di una nuova immagine di città. L’opera di Fischer è interrogata a partire dalla dimensione compiutamente compositiva del progettare architettonico, dunque secondo i molteplici rapporti con l’antico e il contemporaneo. All’interno dell’ampio spettro di esempi presenti nell’Entwurff, si è scelto di approfondire la questione del Tempio di Salomone, che è anche, non a caso, il primo monumento – quasi una categoria fondativa – di quelli illustrati nell’opera. Il Tempio di Gerusalemme è l’inizio di un viaggio la cui narrazione per immagini e schemi compositivi si conclude nel testo con la Karlskirche nella Vienna celeste.
Paradigm Islands: Manhattan and Venice
Concerning architecture and the city, built, imagined and narrated, this book focuses on Manhattan and Venice, but considers architecture as an intellectual and spatial process rather than a product. A critical look at the making of Manhattan and Venice provides a background to addressing the dynamic redefinition and making of space today. The gradual processes of adjustment, the making of a constantly changing dense space, the emphasis on forming rather than on figure, the incorporation of new forms and languages through their adaptation and transformation, make both Manhattan and Venice, in different ways, the ideal places to contextualize and address the issue of an architecture of the dynamic.

PROGETTO DI UN’ARCHITETTURA ISTORICA/ENTWURFF EINER HISTORISCHEN ARCHITECTUR
La cura e la traduzione integrale (la prima in italiano) dell’Entwurff einer Historischen Architectur. Progetto di un’architettura istorica (Vienna 1721) di Bernhard Fischer von Erlach si incarica di colmare una grave lacuna nella storiografia italiana in quanto l’Entwurff costituisce indubbiamente un’opera decisiva, di soglia, per intendere la dimensione compiutamente compositiva del moderno progettare architettonico inteso come rapporto tra mimesis e inventio. La dimensione ‘istorica’, ossia l’insieme eterogeneo dei materiali, viene disposta e ritessuta da una progettualità le cui direttrici convergono nel punto centrale di una forza immaginativa, ‘fantastica’ ovvero ‘poietica’, in grado di superare il rapporto semplice, lineare, tra ‘natura’ e ‘artificio’, riaprendo pertanto al problema di pensare, sempre di nuovo, il linguaggio architettonico.

Aldo Rossi and the Spirit of Architecture
This beautifully illustrated book provides a crucial new look at Aldo Rossi's built work in relationship to his writings, drawings, and product design, and explores his contributions to the architecture in postwar Italy.
Montages
Montage, today, is a widespread procedure that doesn’t concern just artistic production, but also our daily lives and the use everyone makes of that huge visual archive that contemporary media place at our disposal. In a technologically advanced society, where the notion of postproduction regulates our relationship with images and objects, it is therefore necessary to thoroughly investigate the role, possibilities, and, most of all, anthropological and political connotations of montage; and to ask ourselves whether – in comparison to the heroic years of the avant-garde movements – montage has become a faded and standardized practice or if it is a more and more effective means to understand and reprogramme the world, especially in relation to the technical possibilities offered by new media and remix practices.
Plants and vegetation of NW Ethiopia
Pichi Sermolli’s work with his more than 2750 collections of plants from nearly 150 localities on the Lake Tana expedition in Ethiopia in 1937 was interrupted by World War II, but completed in 1947 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the British Museum (Natural History), UK. It resulted in preliminary accounts of the vegetation published 1938-40 and a taxonomically arranged account in 1951, all in Italian. Pichi Sermolli’s observations are difficult to locate due to the imperfect maps of the time, but in this book the authors have reconstructed the sequence of the collections, georeferenced the localities, and updated the identifications of the species. By reconstructing Pichi Sermoll...
