Fifty-Seven Years of Russian Madness
Few nations have undergone such agony as Russia experienced between 1896 and 1953. The Khodynka Meadow Disaster of May 30, 1896 killed 1,389 people, and ominously marred Tsar Nicholas IIs coronation. Eight years later the Russo-Japanese War (1904 - 1905) claimed 71,453 military servicemens lives, without bringing any benefit to Russia. Over 13,000 people died in the consequent Revolution of 1905.

Mario Campi
After graduating from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Mario Campi opened his own architecture office in Lugano in 1962. From 1977 to 1984, he was heavily involved with teaching activities at several American universities including Cornell and Harvard, then after returning to Z rich he became Professor for Architecture at the ETH Zurich in 1985. Campi's buildings are stark in form and elegantly composed, characterised by their concentration on the structural essentials, devoid of superfluity. Although his buildings are functional and very much of today, they also evoke a sense of serenity reminiscent of classical architecture. In this respect Campi is one of the major exponents of Italian rationalism. This monograph presents Campi's recent buildings and projects, highlighting his analytical approach. The projects featured include residential buildings in Lugano and the recently completed buildings for the chemistry faculty at the ETH Zurich.
