Cordusio 2.0. Milano. The heart of the city. Ediz. italiana e inglese
Narrating the thrilling story of Cordusio 2.0 means tracing back through a vision, an act of courage that has probably become a trailblazer for a new trend on the Milanese real estate market. When Hines decided to acquire a building on Piazza Cordusio, the situation was quite different from what we see today. The innovative idea behind the initiative undertaken by Hines Group consisted in believing in an investment in the historical center of Milan, foreshadowing a line of reasoning that was soon to take form-namely that of investing in historical properties rather than creating new buildings: this new vision focused on the revitalization of existing properties in important urban locations, which had to be reassessed in terms of contemporary necessities, in line with the main international standards of energy sustainability and space efficiency. As in the post-war era and as it is now in many European and international cities, it becomes pertinent to address the importance of "the heart of the city", introducing a visionary model of regeneration in today's society.
DPA
"This volume provides a critical look at that which has been a watershed in Dominique Perrault's creative development, namely the realization of the Velodrome and Olympic Swimming Pool in Berlin: a fundamental sign of an architectural research in pursuit of redesigning the landscape. It examines his recent works which have been characterized by a continuous attention to research on architectural language and the relationship between public and private space in an attempt to trace a "third way" - moving towards an integration with the environment in which the geographic matrix and experimentation take precedence over historical aspects. The volume features two very recent projects under way started in 2004 and 2003 respectively, the Ewha Women's Campus in Seoul, Korea and the new Mariinsky Opera House in Saint Petersburg." "These works and other such as the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, the extension of the European Community's Court of Justice in Luxembourg and the Media Library of Venissieux have served to confirm Dominique Perrault's position among the most significant protagonists of contemporary architecture." --Book Jacket.
MCM – Milan, Capital of the Modern
MCM - Milano Capital of the Modern, edited by Lorenzo Degli Esposti, is made up of texts and images from over 300 contributors from Europe and the US, across three generations, involved in the activities of the Padiglione Architettura in EXPO Belle Arti of Vittorio Sgarbi, a programme by the Regione Lombardia hosted in the Grattacielo Pirelli during the EXPO 2015. They investigate the relationships between modern architecture, the city of Milan (Razionalismo, reconstruction, Tendenza, Radical Design, up to current research) and the city in general, between single and specific works and the large scale of the urban territory, in the contradictions between architecture autonomy and its dependence on specific place and historical time. The idea of MCM is that each capital of the Modern brings an original version of modernity in architecture: in the specific Milanese case, this kind of Modern is characterized by the simultaneous presence of abstract, systematic and syntactic features and an ontological conception of both buildings and architectural and urban voids.
