Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "A highly personal reflection on the practice, teaching, and very essence of architecture and design.""What is architecture?"" Many great architects, from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to Etienne-Louis Boullee, have grappled with this question. This book has emerged from a process of personal reflection of the author on the practice of architecture and is, in essence, a collection of thoughts on how to understand architecture and architectural design. It does not aim to provide an exhaustive or systematic treatment. These reflectionsshaped through teachingremain personal, even if they aspire to be shared by others.The crux of the argument made here is that the history of architecture should be recognised as the foundational matrix of architectural identity. Starting from this premise, the inquiry delves into the essence of architecture and design; it asks how this discipline can be taught and learned, what constitutes a theoretical text on design, and what defines architectural research. The book addresses those who, much like an architecture student, wish to ""understand better"".Vittorio Pizzigoni was born in Bergamo and graduated in architecture from the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia (Iuav), where in 2007 he was awarded a PhD in History of architecture. In 2004 he co-founded the architectural practice baukuh, with which he has taken part in international exhibitions and realised significant works, including Casa della Memoria in Milan (2015) and the European Library of Information and Culture (BEIC) in Milan. He has authored over 150 publications and has taught at various institutions in Italy and abroad. Since 2012 he has been Assistant Professor of Architectural Design, and since 2019 Associate Professor, at the University of Genoa, Italy."

His work was characterized by a constant search for perfection and by a perpetual questioning of architecture's fundamental principles.…

Paperback. Etat : New. As the self-renewing discipline that is architecture, Caryatide editions picks up the torch ofthe critical magazine-which was their very first form. They wish to enrich the debate aroundarchitecture by bringing a word that confronts to the news. Architecture is at the convergenceof questioning, a discipline nourished by cross-disciplinary approaches. As such, as asignature, Caryatide endeavours to keep a critical point of view, enriched by a social andpolitical look which the architectural discipline depends on, to highlight its complexity andaspirations. For each issue, two contributors are invited to share their thoughts on a new theme. Second issue of the critical magazine Dixit in which the words of the architect Yony Santosfrom the swiss architecture practice TYPICALOFFICE and of Marina Otero Verzier, directorof research at Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI), confront each other around the theme of "A Matter of Data". Architecture is still a matter of space, but the understanding of this element is currentlyevolving by the emergence of new forms of electronic and computer-mediated realities. AMatter of Data explores this phenomenon observing the environments and installations thatquestion our experience of space and analyzing the duality and relationships betweenphysical and numerical interfaces of all kinds.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Voyages en Sardaigne is a collection of unconventional thematic guides on this island in the middle of the Mediterranean. They offer to the reader different ways of observation and restitution of its territory, always characterized by an uncertain temporality:the present and the past merge to build a unique landscape, far from the convulsive setting of the contemporaneity. The Sardinian context becomes a paradigm to go beyond the debate between the two opposite poles: novelty and tradition. To weave this portrait, photographs and texts take part in the production of an anthology capable of offering a multiplicity of possible represen- tations. Words and images form a linguistic whole in which the word and the gaze reveal the possible rela- tionships and directions to discover these places.Nelle miniere di Iglesias / Into the Mines of Iglesias is the first part of this exploration that focuses on soil, excavations, incisions, mutations, transpositions and silence of Sulcis-Iglesiente, a territory marked by an industrial history. A wandering through time and space of a region built, transformed, crossed by different types of works, infrastructures, relationships between things. These signs, these scars, are today the distinc- tive features of an extraordinary mining landscape. A space to discover through visual and textual narration.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The richness of cultural exchanges between Italy and Switzerland, especially in terms of architectural culture, is the framework within which this publication was conceived and structured. The editorial project retraces and expands some of the themes addressed during the first seven years of the Swiss Talks, born in 2017 as a cultural partnership between the Istituto Svizzero and the architecture magazine Casabella.Based in Rome, Milan and Palermo, Istituto Svizzero is an interdisciplinary platform bringing together artistic and scientific research and maintaining a residency program for emerging young artists and researchers.
