In Weak and Widespread, modernity stands as a contrasting operative practice when compared to that of the 20th century, which was based on finding definitive solutions to old and new problems of industrial society. Today's architecture and urban planning tends to operate through reversible solutions, taking their references from models that are incomplete, imperfect and elastic. Precisely for this reason they are capable of withstanding the continuous processes of innovation. In this book Branzi examines how transformations in the concept of modernity have changed project strategy following new territorial and social developments. He puts this into relation to his own projects and research from the mid-1960's with the radical experience of the Archizoom group until the present.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Skira Editore, Milan, 2006. First edition softcover. Signed by Andrea Branzi. A visually striking and intellectually ambitious survey of Branzi's architectural and urban theories, tracing the shift from the "strong" modernism of the twentieth century toward a more fluid, elastic, and networked contemporary condition. Richly illustrated throughout with conceptual renderings, urban plans, speculative architectural imagery, and full-color project documentation tied to Branzi's radical design practice and the legacy of Archizoom. An important late-career theoretical work by one of Italy's most influential architects and design thinkers, blending architecture, philosophy, urbanism, and speculative design. Particularly desirable signed, especially as Branzi material has gained renewed attention following major museum and design-history reassessments. Condition: Very good overall with light shelf wear and mild edge wear to wraps; interior clean and bright. Signed by the author. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 127
