COME VISIT FORMA EDIZIONI AT FRANKFURT BOOKFAIR 2017: H. 5.0 / C36

formaedizioni.it

FORMA EDIZIONI FALL 2017 Forma is a publishing initiative aimed at the diffusion of knowledge of trends and experiences in the fields of art, architecture and photography and, more in general, at the promotion of the most interesting researches on productive and technological aspects related to the transformation of the territory, contemporary lifestyles and homes. The intention of the publishing house is to give a “form” to the expressive undercurrents which run through and animate the current cultural debate and to explore both specific areas of knowledge that are known to the public, and to give greater visibility to those currently marginal intellectual and artistic expressions that are considered, for various reasons, to open new vistas on reality. To achieve this, Forma avails itself, without any distinction of priority, of all means of communication, both digital by making its publications available on the internet or by means of e-books, and traditional ones, by printing volumes on paper, such as monographs and catalogues of exhibitions and events. Every initiative is characterized by the high quality of the overall product (including images and printing). The publications are distributed in places (specialized bookstores, museum bookshops and exhibition venues) which, in addition to being available on the internet, assure the necessary and indispensable presence in the “sites” where opinions and critic valuations are formed.

HAMBURG

MILAN

MOSCOW

edited by L. Andreini

edited by M. Moscatelli

edited by A. De Magistris and U. Zanetti

Hamburg is the first “destination” presented by the series. An introduction featuring three critical treatises outlines the historic and urbanistic profile of the city, allowing the reader to reflect on the evolution of the city and at the same time relate it to the contemporary image of the places. The selection of 75 projects, organized in 5 itineraries, provides a fullimmersion in architecture, allowing the reader to dwell on the functional, typological and compositive aspects of the buildings, which are rendered even more legible by images and technical drawings that supplement the descriptions.

Second edition of this guide on Milan, enriched with a focus on the Fondazione Prada. In recent years, this city has become a metropolis involved in transformations that are well worthy of interest for the architectural and urbanistic experiments that have been carried out. The complex dialectics between innovation and respect for the existing urban form is the distinctive characteristic of this metropolis, marked as a strongly contemporary city. This guide is being launched in answer to a moment of great focus on Milan, and it emphasises the unique nature of its complex character.

The last fifteen years of Russian history have profoundly altered Moscow, bringing dramatic changes to the Communist city it was in the eighties. These alterations have increasingly highlighted Moscow’s many contrasts and multiple facets. The guide seeks to do more than just recount and illustrate the city’s architectural history. It strives to be a tool to study the building trends that have shaped it. After a short introduction and the essential information needed to plan a visit, the book includes several essays that give the city’s historical context and then critically consider its possible future developments.

ARCHITECTURAL GUIDES / ON THE ON ROAD GUIDE D’ARCHITETTURA / COLLANA THESERIES ROAD

FLORENCE edited by L. Andreini

A guide to contemporary architecture in a city such as Florence might seem an oxymoron to certain readers. This book, part of the On the Road series, is aimed at showing how one of the Italian cities most strongly linked with its past, in fact - the quintessential symbol of the Renaissance period, conceals a myriad of innovative architecture. Florence is not a static city. It has often been guilty of long delays and a certain lack of courage in assimilating new approaches, but its way of introducing contemporary architecture into a consolidated context, is unique. Changes with great impact began in Florence at the end of the 19th century with the urban planning transformations designed by Giuseppe Poggi. The strongly defined limits of the historic centre became blurred with the demolition of the fortifications and the city was opened up to permit expansion. In the 1930s, the Rationalist design of the Santa Maria Novella Station introduced a new form of architectural expression into the historic centre and

outskirts of the city. This is the building that begins the itinerary proposed in this guide; a chronological, but also a physical beginning: a starting point for visitors to begin their architectural excursion. The guide includes a practical map which can be folded to form a removable book jacket. The back of the map shows all the works described in the book, arranged according to easy itineraries. There are a lot of examples of some of the city’s most interesting architecture, concentrating mainly on the contemporary aspects, and providing detailed descriptions. The book also provides useful information and advice to make the visitor’s experience easier and more pleasant.

ANTINORI WINERY DIARY OF BUILDING A NEW LANDSCAPE L. Andreini, texts by P. Antinori, M. Casamonti, introduction by M. Fuksas

The new Antinori winery project is located in the extraordinary hilly landscape covered with vineyards of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena. The customer wanted a building which enhanced the surrounding landscape and territory and bore witness to the cultural and social relevance of the places where wine is made. The conceptual theme of the project has taken the form of a shell that is totally underground, without roofs, walls, streets and parking spaces, following a design which dares to reconcile (a difficult but necessary challenge) the natural and the artificial. It is precisely the story of this constant research, of the indispensable connection between architecture and landscape, which represents the fulcrum on which the whole volume pivots. Hundreds of photographs by Pietro Savorelli have immortalized years of work on the building site, telling the story of all the phases that have made it possible to realize this extraordinary project. The images, along with numerous technical drawings on every scale, critical and descriptive texts, illustrate the design process which has led to the construction of a new landscape.

THE WINERY COLLECTION A TRAVEL GUIDE TO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE IN THE ITALIAN LANDSCAPE edited by L. Molinari

With the evolution of agriculture from a family-run, artisanal economy to an industrial scale activity, wine production was mainly concentrated in industrial style buildings lacking in any architectural inspiration; they were structures where grapes were processed in an anonymous and nondescript manner. The building in which wine was actually made was of no importance as far as architecture and landscape were concerned, since it was limited to a purely functional role. Thanks to a series of social, economic, and also cultural factors, this trend not only began to disappear, but was even completely inverted. The challenge now lies in creating wineries that are industrial buildings suitable for production, but at the same time evocative and engaging spaces, perfectly integrated with the landscape, so that they will not alter the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. However, they also need to be practical and efficient to make wine processing and transport easy and cost-effective. Showing a selection of more than thirty wineries spread

throughout Italy, this book is aimed at investigating the characteristics of each single construction, establishing and underlining the connection between the architectural structure and its role within the agricultural fabric. An oenological section examines in more detail the production in each of the wineries, analysing the organoleptic characteristics and properties of the wine, offering important suggestions for later analysis. Luca Molinari is a curator and writer alongside his academic career and research activities. He has been teaching History of Contemporary Architecture at SUN, (Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli) since 2007 and is currently a visiting professor at the Cornell University of Architecture, Art, and Planning in Rome, and at the Fondazione Fotografia in Modena. He was the dean of the School of Design at NABA, (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) (2005-06). He has written for, and still collaborates, writing for Italian and international publications including: Corriere della Sera, La Stampa, AD, Platform,

Domus, Lotus, Abitare, Ottagono, Il progetto, Archis, L’architecture d’aujourd’hui, A+U and Post. He has written the weekly architectural column for the magazine, Espresso, since 2015.

MASSIMILIANO E DORIANA FUKSAS LA NUVOLA NEW CONVENTION CENTRE EUR ROME with essays by J. Giovannini and A. Bonito Oliva

The NUVOLA (NEW CONVENTION CENTRE) is a work of outstanding artistic merit, featuring innovative logistics solutions, and a choice of technically advanced materials. The structure rises in the historic EUR quarter and covers a surface of 55,000 square metres. The project concept can be defined in three images: the Display Case, the Nuvola, and the Blade of the hotel structure. The ‘display case’ is the enclosing structure in steel and double glass facades that encases the ‘Nuvola’ [cloud]. The Nuvola, or true core of the project, is enclosed inside the Display Case box underlining the contrast between the organisation of free space without rules, and a geometrically defined form. The Nuvola contains an auditorium with seating for 1850, cafés and snack bars, and support services for the auditorium. The Nuvola forms the distinctive architectural element of the project: the steel ribbed structure provides an amazing visual effect, and is covered with 15,000 square metres of transparent fabric. This highly flexible complex is able to house congresses, exhibitions, and events with a seating capacity of almost 9,000 people.

This book narrates the complete detailed history of this monumental architectural work and its construction through numerous and evocative images of the work site showing the complexity of the construction stages and the special techniques that were necessary. There are also photos of the completed building, by internationally renowned photographers. The preface of this monographic publication in single Italian or English language, are two critical essays by Joseph Giovannini and Achille Bonito Oliva, and is completed with very rich iconographic material composed of technical drawings on various scales, and sketches by the starchitect, Massimiliano Fuksas, author of the work together with Doriana Fuksas. The book has been published on various types of paper and differently sized sheets which are inserted within the pages. Studio Fuksas, directed by Massimiliano and Doriana, is one of the most famous international architectural firms in the world. Over the past 40 years, the firm has developed an innovative approach through a surprising variety of projects all over the world and and has been awarded numerous international prizes.

ARCHEA MATERIALS COMING SOON

The selection, preparation and application of materials in architecture represent key points in the design process, today as in the past. A vast array of ad hoc solutions make it possible to confer targeted functions and substantial qualities to structures, surfaces, shells and spaces, and contribute to the definition of the project identity. This book publishes some of the most important projects realized by Archea Associati, recognized especially for the specificity of their use of materials. Glass, terracotta, concrete and wood are just a few of the elements that classify their projects. The architectural works demonstrate how the various materials can be interpreted differently from time to time to become truly innovative, while still maintaining their unique characteristics. Ancient and contemporary materials, tradition and innovation follow upon one another throughout the volume, in a sort of atlas of materials, the stuff of architecture. A gallery of photographic images accompanied by

drawings and descriptive texts provides full illustration of the buildings, alternating between details and general views, from the basic elements to the complete work as a whole.

EX MAGAZZINO VINI TRIESTE COMING SOON

The project consists of the recovery and transformation of the 19th century volume of the former wine warehouse on the seaside boulevard of Trieste. The design does not modify the original volume but invades it by excavating the space for another completely independent, ethereal and translucent building inside it, dimensioned to the rhythm of the masonry wall of the original façade. The physical gap between the new “product” and the historical screen has become a fascinating locus between internal and external. The glass that seals the internal shell reflects the outlines of the warehouse walls and their openings, allowing for visibility of the activities that are being conducted inside. The publication tells the complete and detailed story of this project and its construction with numerous engaging work site images that reveal the complexity of the building phases and the specificity of the work processes that were necessary and, naturally, the shots of the results upon completion. The monograph, in a single language Italian or

English edition, is introduced by critical and descriptive essays and accompanied by a wealth of iconographic material including technical drawings at various scales. The volume is composed of different types of papers – inserted with diverse dimensions among the pages – fixed with a special exposed type of backbone binding, all developed ad hoc in relation to the originality of the project to be presented. Founded in 1988 by Laura Andreini, Marco Casamonti and Giovanni Polazzi, joined by Silvia Fabi in 1999, today the ARCHEA ASSOCIATI studio is a network of approximately 100 architects operating in the six offices located in Florence, Milan, Rome, Beijing, Dubai and Sao Paulo. The interests and the creativity of the studio range from landscape to cityscape, building to design, and although focused on architecture, the projects also include graphics and publishing, exhibitions and events. The complementarity and sliding scale that varies from critique to work site, allows for integrated

effectiveness capable of intervening in the various compositional forms of the project. Currently under construction: the commercial and residential Forevergreen Tower and the National Stadium of Albania, both in Tirana, and the ChangriLa Winery in Penglai (China).

ADOLFO NATALINI FOUR SKETCHBOOKS FROM SUPERSTUDIO TO NATALINI ARCHITETTI

Founder of Superstudio, initiator of the so-called “Radical Architecture” movement (one of the most important avantgarde movements of the sixties and seventies), Adolfo Natalini describes years of designed and constructed architectural projects through his preferential medium: drawings and sketches. This book contains work from several of his large collection of notebooks retracing almost fifty years of professional career. The order in which the notebooks are published, interspaced and coordinated by means of a long interview, demonstrate the evolution of the initial idea, interpretation and vision of the architectural oeuvre of one of the leaders in Italian architecture. Adolfo Natalini was born in Pistoia in 1941. After his experience as a painter, he graduated in architecture at Florence University in 1966 and founded Superstudio, (with Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, Gian Piero Frassinelli, Roberto and Alessandro Magris). Superstudio’s designs have appeared in publications and exhibitions all over the world and it’s works now form part

of collections such as the MoMA in New York, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Deutsche Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. From 1979 onwards Natalini started working on his own and concentrating on his designs for historical towns in Italy and other countries in Europe, looking for the traces left by time on objects and places and proposing a reconciliation between collective and personal memory. He is a full professor at the faculty of architecture of Florence University and an honorary member of the BDA, (Bund Deutscher Architekten), of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence and of the Accademia di San Luca.

PALAZZO LOMBARDIA edited by L. Molinari

COMING SOON

The project for Palazzo Lombardia, undertaken to unite offices of the Regional administration previously distributed in other locations, consists of three parts: the tower, 161 metres high for forty-three floors; the base of seven and eight floors; and the linear garden. While the design of the open space has a Cartesian matrix that recalls the forms of the well-irrigated plain south of the city, the design of the buildings has an organic matrix that reinterprets, on the one hand, the mountainous ridges of the north in the constructions and, on the other hand, the valleys furrowed by rivers in the covered piazza, considered the heart of the project and open to the city for events and shows as well. The search for environmental sustainability was incorporated in the use of a double-skin climatic wall, green roofs, heat pumps that use groundwater, and solar panels. The building is thus a fine representation of innovation and contemporaneity, perfectly aligned with the mainstream of architecture in Milan.

The book tells the whole story, in great detail, of this undertaking with critical and descriptive essays, drawings, sketches, work site photographs and images of the completed architecture. This generous documentation leads to comprehension of the building and its role in the context of the urban fabric. Ihil ipsam impersperum esto et eicipsa pellam voluptatur arciae vellabo.

ARCHEA ASSOCIATI NEMBRO PUBLIC LIBRARY edited by L. Andreini with texts by F. Bollack, L. Molinari

The library of Nembro designed by the Archea firm between 2002 and 2007 could be defined as a perfect and coherent work, a child of the Italian architectural culture of the postwar years with all the wealth of meanings, complexity and subtle contradiction that this definition entails. The new building appears as a box of glass and steel, shielded from the sun by a curious system of sunscreens in red earthenware, fastened to iron rods.

ARCHEA ASSOCIATI PERFETTI VAN MELLE FACTORY RENOVATION edited by L. Andreini with texts by P. Meuser, M. Giberti

In 2004 Perfetti van Melle, an important Italian corporation and one of the world’s leading chewing gum and candy manufacturers, decided to expand its first historical plant in Lainate, a few kilometres north of Milan. The idea has been to build a new central warehouse for the stocking of all products made in this section, as well as to organize the management offices by concentrating them in a new office building.

ARCHEA ASSOCIATI / FAVERO & MILAN URBAN BEST PRACTICE AREA B3-2 PAVILION edited by L. Andreini

This book recounts the conversion of a historic villa into a highly specialized cancer center. The design’s guiding theme is a dialogue between history and the present day. The situation is as unique as the process of designing the center, which took an innovative, experimental approach. Within this complex, quickly-changing context, the story of the new Centro Oncologico Fiorentino cancer center offers inspiration for two lines of further thought. The first of these is reflection on the role of historic buildings in hospital conversion projects. The second is the role of clients and the cultural perspective that gave meaning to the goals and questions that are part of the lengthy design process. It’s a volume which seeks share ideas and hopes with the community of all those who are interested in exploring a healthcare culture waiting to take its next great leap forward.

The volume is dedicated to the B3-2 pavilion, realized by Archea Associati, in the UBPA (Urban Best Practice Area) area in China on the occasion of the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, within the context of the cooperation program between the Expo and Italian Ministry for the Environment. The project represents an extraordinary opportunity to highlight the most modern ways to conceive architecture, on the basis of an approach that respects the environment, saves energy and considers the impact of the architecture on the landscape. The pavilion is a simple container, a neutral box transformed in a mechanism for diffusing natural light without any need to consume energy and realized with structure in steel assembled mechanically without cement, something which makes it possible to disassemble and reassemble the volume.

FIORENZO VALBONESI TRE CANTINE edited by L. Andreini

ARCHEA ASSOCIATI RESIDENZA DEL FORTE CARLO FELICE edited by L. Andreini

The volume is dedicated to three projects realized in Italy by the architect Valbonesi, all of which centre on wineries. A highly topical issue, wineries have seen considerable developments in recent years; they represent an expression and synthesis of a certain way to relate the products of the earth to the landscape that produce them, through stylistic and formal choices that are specifically adapted to the territory, to the use of certain materials, and which consider the impact of these buildings on the landscape. The book describes the wineries of Campo del Sole (Bertinoro, FC), Tormaresca (San Pietro Vernotico, BR) and Castello della Sala (Ficulle, TR), recent works by Valbonesi. The publication vaunts a large selection of photographs, technical drawings and construction details, to describe the works as completely and exhaustively as possible.

The volume illustrates the project realized by Archea Associati for the renovation and expansion of the former Military Hospital on the island of La Maddalena island which has been transformed into a resort complex which was originally intended to host the great world leaders for the G8 summit. The fact that the latter was moved to l’Aquila, after the earthquake which struck the people and territories of Abruzzo on 6 April, does not make any of the problems associated with this architecture any easier to solve; in fact, the project must contemplate, in one and a same context, the renovation of old buildings, the construction of large new volumes, the creation of a park, the harmonizing and merging of the structures with a particularly valuable and delicate environmental context.

UNDER 50 OVER 5000 edited by L. Andreini, with an essay by L. Vinca Masini and an introduction by M. Casamonti

Under 50 over 5000 presents a completely new selection of designs made for the fashion sector, analysed and described with the precious contribution of their creator, Antonio Barbieri, an architect but above all a craftsman who has worked with interior design, exhibition areas and commercial spaces for many years. The volume unites and describes, through texts, technical drawings and images by Pietro Savorelli, a selection of works, comprising numerous projects ranging from furniture to lighting design, from concepts for international brands to window displays, to temporary stores. The main theme of the story about architecture is the outstanding versatility of this design, which is especially

evident from an essential trait that characterizes all the projects included in the publications, namely their markedly “crafted” and “customised” nature. The skilful use of the materials and their adaptation to forms and placements, which is often very original, allow Barbieri to create spaces that not only succeed in meeting the commercial requirements, but that also adjust to the all-important present-day restriction, that of the “cost per square meter”. In fact, the choice of projects presented herein comprises both projects of luxurious interiors where nothing has been spared and others where a remarkable result has been achieved in spite of a limited budget.

POLI FIERISTICI a cura di C. F. Kusch with a contribution by V. Marg

In the past twenty years, nearly all of Europe’s major exhibition centres have been expanded, rebuilt, or constructed in new locations to replace antiquated and inadequate facilities. Significant amounts have been invested in developments that have often brought radical change to entire city districts. This volume offers a selection of the most interesting European exhibition complexes, distinguishing the new centres (as for example the fairs in Milan, Rome and Stuttgart), from those which have been renovated or expanded (such as Vienna, Berlin, Padua and Turin). Each project is described through an illustrative text, completed by images and technical drawings. In the last pages, a practical manual summarizes all the information and the requirements for the correct design of a trade fair.

Con l’assegnazione del primo premio al concorso per la realizzazione della nuova fiera di Rimini, si offre allo studio von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, immediatamente dopo il completamento della Nuova Fiera di Lipsia, un’altra occasione di costruire un polo fieristico completamente ex-novo. Nella patria dell’architettura classica gli architetti attingono al vocabolario della tradizione con un’impostazione generale di tipo assiale e nella definizione dei singoli elementi tipologici di cui è formato il complesso fieristico: padiglioni con volte a botte, cupole, portici, cortili e aule colonnate richiamano le forme archetipiche dell’architettura pur rimanendo sempre il risultato di soluzioni funzionali e costruttive contemporanee. Quattro esili torri d’acciaio e vetro, illuminate di notte con luce blu, sono il simbolo della fiera: ben visibili da lontano fanno riferimento alle torri gentilizie, tipiche delle città medievali dell’Italia centrale. Posizionate davanti all’ingresso principale, accolgono il visitatore, dopo il passaggio sotto la linea ferroviaria, su un vasto piazzale dal quale si accede alla fiera, agli uffici amministrativi nelle due ali laterali e all’anello di accesso carrabile ai padiglioni, nonché alla fermata ferroviaria, realizzata appositamente per la fiera. Il complesso ha una chiara impostazione simmetrica, organizzata secondo lo schema “a doppio pettine”, risultato il più funzionale per l’organizzazione degli spazi espositivi. Dall’ingresso principale, situato sull’asse centrale, si accede ad una sala colonnata e da questa, sui due lati, ai padiglioni espositivi nonché alla cupola centrale, alle sale conferenza, ai ristoranti e agli altri servizi. Due ulteriori ingressi, sui due lati est ed ovest, collegati con vaste aree parcheggio, permettono un’ottimale flessibilità e gestione degli eventi fieristici. Dopo l’ampliamento, con due padiglioni doppi attestati sugli ingressi laterali, sedici ambienti espositivi offrono circa 110.000 mq di superficie per fiere ed eventi che possono svolgersi anche contemporaneamente, grazie ai tre ingressi di accesso separati. I padiglioni

sono illuminati da luce naturale attraverso le facciate laterali vetrate e da lucernari in copertura, ma possono essere oscurate completamente se necessario. Piccoli padiglioni di raccordo e il colonnato assicurano al visitatore un passaggio coperto e continuo attraverso tutta la fiera. I padiglioni, disposti sui due lati dei lunghi colonnati che circondano i vasti specchi d’acqua, sono monoplanari e hanno coperture voltate a botte in legno lamellare. Le volte a losanghe sono un riferimento alle costruzioni degli anni ’20 dell’ingegnere tedesco Friedrich Zollinger e dell’ingegnere italiano Pier Luigi Nervi. Le travi, alte solo 80 cm, hanno tutte le stesse dimensioni formando una rete omogenea di losanghe, che copre il padiglione senza sostegni intermedi per una superficie di 60×100 m. Per la costruzione della cupola, il cuore della fiera, la tecnica costruttiva utilizzata per i padiglioni, è stata ulteriormente affinata. Lo spazio circolare, con un diametro di 30 m alla base, contornato da una doppia fila di colonne, è coperto con una cupola lignea composta da elementi di varie dimensioni che formano una rete a losanghe che si stringe verso il lucernario centrale. Il pavimento in grès è abbassato di alcuni gradini rispetto al livello circostante e riporta, intarsiato, il michelangiolesco motivo della piazza del Campidoglio.

RUA HARMONIA A HOUSE TO WORK IN / UNA CASA PER LAVORARE / UMA CASA PARA TRABALHAR edited by F. Serapião

The house built by Archea is located at number 86 in rua Harmonia, in the Vila Madalena district. The address is stamped into the reinforced concrete wall, on the left side of the entrance door, like a bas-relief. The concrete is dark red, throughout the house. Everything is made from concrete, corten and wood. The architecture of Rua Harmonia picks up a tradition, developing, accepting, and enriching it with another chapter that enables it to evolve in a linguistic dialogue with its context; it is so connected and at the same time, so autonomous, that it could become a home for its designer.

ARCHEA SUSTAINABLE LANDMARKS

edited by L. Andreini with an introduction by F. Burkhardt

The volume, part of the Contemporary Authors series, provides an opportunity to reflect upon over twenty years of Studio Achea’s activity. After the introduction by François Burkhardt, more than 50 works by the studio are shown, placed in different thematic sections such as landscape, architecture, interiors and furnishing. The broad selection of architecture and projects published is proof of the continual research and experimentation of everevolving themes. Nevertheless, in spite of unceasing interest in variation, specific characteristics of the cultural circles involved in the project emerge,along with the differences. Going beyond the heterogeneity of the submitted proposals, we can catch a glimpse of a clear guideline, which sets Studio Archea in a well-defined position within the landscape of contemporary architecture.

HABITAR A COMUNIDADE by M. Casamonti and M. Giberti

Rio de Janeiro is currently the centre of the world’s attention due to the events the city and the Brazilian government have succeeded in attracting to the former capital. This is the result of a specific political strategy aimed at consolidating the image of a country undergoing a rapid expansion, which is becoming increasingly irreconcilable with the conspicuous presence of an informal urban fabric in the form of favelas. The volume Habitar a comunidade / Abitare la comunità has been created within the context of an attempt to identify new strategies of intervention in the “informal city” that rather than try to impose external models, aims to define some simple operational principles that may be implemented both by individuals and by administrations through shared and participative projects. The underlying concept is that the communities can only be upgraded through a direct involvement of their own members.

EUR FOTOGRAFIA DI UN QUARTIERE edited by F. Innamorati texts by G. Chiaramonte and F. Moschini

Designed in the 1930s for a Universal Exposition which was never held, the EUR (also known as Eur or E.U.R., that stood for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Esposizione Universale di Romaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) is an imposing urban complex that includes several examples of monumental architecture that cohabit with modern buildings constructed in later decades. The complex, commissioned by Benito Mussolini, was planned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the March on Rome and the Fascist rise to power, during a lavish international World Fair. In recent years, the area has become a residential and business area, and is home to the headquarters of many important companies and public bodies. The most recent intervention was the construction of the New Congress Centre, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas. This book, edited by Francesco Innamorati, describes the history of this district and its evolution through a reading of the original projects that were never realised: a photographic itinerary taken from the photographic archives of the company. It is the first time that a large volume provides such a complete and

comprehensive analysis of the birth and development of one of the most representative and significant concepts of important architectural and urban projects on such a scale. It is also the first time that such a vast selection of images from photographic archives have been researched: composed of over 16,000 glass photo plates, the archive is an incredible heritage that bears witness to such an important historic period.

L’intervento dello studio –scape, con sedi a Roma e Parigi, mostra, coerentemente con le biografie dei quattro soci, una consuetudine tutta italiana nel trattare il tema della trasformazione urbana per manufatti architettonici dotati di una propria specifica identità e di una storia che, nella metamorfosi, sembra esaltarsi. Il contesto, uno dei tanti bellissimi villini liberty costruiti a Roma nei primi anni, diviene il testo all’interno del quale inserire una scrittura architettonica libera e incisiva. Esternamente infatti l’intergrità architettonica dell’edificio originario è stata sottolineata da un’attenta quanto scrupolosa opera di restauro filologico che non ha alterato gli elementi della plastica ornamentale, mentre all’interno una diversa ridistribuzione funzionale ha innervato il rispetto della memoria con l’invenzione di una nuova configurazione volumentrica incentrata sulla sinuosa spirale della scala di collegamento che fluttua con sapienza nello spazio domestico.

The work of the –scape firm, with branches in Rome and Paris, witnesses, coherently with the biography of the four partners, a wholly Italian familiarity with the theme of urban transformations for architectural constructions with an own specific identity and history which seems to be highlighted as a result of this metamorphosis. The context, one of the many beautiful art nouveau villas built in Rome in the early years of last century, becomes a text within which to insert a free and incisive architectural writing. In fact, the architectural integrity of the exterior of the original building has been accentuated by an equally attentive and painstaking work of philological restoration which has not altered the elements of the ornamental modelling, while a new functional redistribution of the interior has innervated the respect for memory with the invention of a new configuration that centres, in terms of volume, on the sinuous spiral of the winding stairs that connect the domestic space with its fluctuating, ably designed forms.

Laura Andreini

Sullo spartito di un pentagramma verticale LAN Architecture dispone le finestre come le note di una canzone mentre la facciata in vetro, che nasconde e riflette la circostante architettura della tradizione, appare come un grafico per istogrammi se non come un alternarsi della digitalizzazione di una composizione sonora. La realtà della palestra, del municipio e della piazza è l’incrocio suadente tra modernità e tradizione, lucido e opaco, vitreo e roccioso, dominato da una onnicomprensiva classicità dell’impianto urbano di cui il nuovo manufatto ripropone il rigore e le altimetrie delle linee di gronda. Gli interni della palestra, opportunamente pervasi nelle ore diurne della luce naturale, si proiettano all’esterno nell’immagine notturna, attraverso una vibrazione che dona un nuovo ritmo ad una impostazione progettuale tanto appropriata e rigorosa.

LAN Architecture arrange their windows on the score of a vertical staff, like the notes of a song, while the glazed façade that conceals and reflects the surrounding, traditional architecture reminds of a histogram or the alternations of a digital rendition of an acoustic composition. The reality of the gym, the town hall and the square is a persuasive cross between modernity and tradition, lucid and opaque surfaces, glass and stone, dominated by the omnipresent classical urban plan, whose rigor and height is respected by the new building. While the interior of the gym is immersed in natural light by day, it projects outwards by night, creating a vibrant nocturnal image that sets a new rhythm to a very appropriate and rigorous design approach.

Questo linguaggio di semplici geometrie, nel quale gli elementi si identificano in spazi suggestivi, ognuno con il proprio materiale e colore, concorre a creare un continuum architettonico con lo spazio naturale circostante. il progetto antonello colonna resort & spa nel parco di Labico, vicino roma, è una sintesi felice di una ricerca nella quale l’architettura definisce lo spazio esterno conferendogli un nuova strutturazione. andrea mannocci

BOLOGNA / ITALY / 2009-2010

Frutto di una metodologia progettuale incentrata sulla sperimentazione compositiva che Diverserighestudio porta avanti dal 2003, anno di fondazione dello studio, l’edificio residenziale oggetto di questa monografia mostra come sia possibile ottenere risultati sorprendenti pur disponendo di budget limitati e operando in contesti che niente concedono alla suggestione del paesaggio sia esso naturale che urbano. Tuttavia lo studio ha saputo “inventare”, con pochi calibrati scarti volumetrici, un’opera sorprendentemente riuscita e suggestiva. L’articolazione dell’assieme è ottenuta attraverso il misurato movimento, sia in senso verticale che orizzontale, delle scabre superfici di un involucro semplice quanto espressivo. La casa e il libro sono allora la testimonianza di una possibilità straordinaria offerta dall’architettura come un’opportunità disponibile per tutti coloro che vogliono cercarla. Laura Andreini

The residential building presented in this monograph - the result of an architectural method based on design experiments the Diverserighe firm has conducted since it was founded in 2003 - proves that it is possible to achieve surprising results even if one has to work with limited budgets and in contexts that offer nothing in terms of natural sceneries or charming townscapes. The firm has, nevertheless, succeeded in “inventing”, with few studied volumetric shifts, a remarkably accomplished and fascinating work.The articulation of the aggregate has been obtained by means of measured movements, both vertical and horizontal, of the rough surfaces of an outer shell that is as simple as it is expressive. Both the house and the book are therefore testimonials of the extraordinary possibilities offered by architecture, as an opportunity available to all those who want to seek it. Laura Andreini

Quattro “torri” in cemento definiscono gli spigoli fortificati di un unico complesso architettonico suddiviso in due unità indipendenti collegate da alcuni servizi comuni al piano interrato. L’involucro compatto e rigoroso unisce in un unico assieme istanze moderne e contaminazioni derivate dalla tradizione locale – tetti a falde con struttura lignea – mostrando una capacità compositiva che precisa anche un evidente intento critico rispetto al dibattito italiano contemporaneo. La realizzazione di Casa N/S – attraverso l’insistita forma planimetrica costruita sul quadrato del lotto, la ricercata attenzione per i materiali e lo studio degli elementi di dettaglio – evidenzia dep studio come una nuova voce all’interno di un panorama architettonico che necessita, specialmente in provincia, di quella chiarezza ed essenzialità metodologica, testimonianza di una evidente maturità progettuale.

Four “towers” in concrete define the fortified corners of a single architectonic aggregate divided in two independent units, connected by a number of shared facilities on the basement. The compact and rigorous outer shell combines modern inspirations and contaminations from the local tradition – pitched roofs with wooden structures – in a unitary whole that bears witness both to design skills and to a clear critical intent with respect to the contemporary Italian debate. The realization of Casa N/S – through the square form adapted to the form of the lot, the attentive choice of the materials and the careful study of the details – reveals dep studio as a new player to watch within an architectural scenario that needs, especially outside the bigger cities, that clarity and methodological essentiality in architectural design that is proof of an evident maturity.

In un luogo compromesso e abbandonato, dove resiste una porzione del paesaggio ligure, troppo spesso minacciato da interventi speculativi e distruttivi, lo studio Ariu+Vallino ha realizzato un’architettura di “sezione”. Se la lezione del decostruttivismo ha reso libera l’azione agli architetti, il progetto di queste case per vacanza ricorda l’impegno per l’architettura di “sezione” di Alvar Aalto a Rovaniemi. Questo progetto si compone di volumi (l’ingresso, le abitazioni e la piscina) e materiali (il legno, la pietra, l’intonaco, la lamiera e il vetro) articolati con i dislivelli del terreno e l’interpretazione del paesaggio, sia essa un’interpretazione “fisica” verso monte, con l’integrazione tra vegetazione e costruito, o “percettiva” verso il mare con le viste che inquadrano lo sfondo come quinte sceniche. Un’architettura di “sezione” ispirata a un linguaggio contemporaneo privo di riferimenti formali.

Il marcato vuoto urbano, già agricolo poi militare, ritrova una evidente relazione con il contesto circostante riattivando un attento dialogo con gli elementi caratterizzanti il luogo stesso. L’inserimento di elementi stereometrici lineari, l’installazione di un sistema giocoso di fontane, la creazione di nuovi piani a differenti livelli, recuperando le esistenti variazioni altimetriche, costituiscono gli ingredienti che hanno definito il disegno di un nuovo “vuoto” urbano funzionalmente flessibile ad accogliere diverse attività pubbliche, mercato, arena, area di ritrovo, e al contempo luogo emozionale capace di dialogare con gli abitanti.

Within the context of the plan aimed at upgrading the centre of Lastra a Signa, Eleonora Burlando and Riccardo Miselli have redesigned the large open area of Piazza Garibaldi, an urban barycentre, with small and carefully designed additions. The large empty space, which has been used for agricultural and then military purposes, has clearly formed new links to the surroundings, by reactivating an attentious dialogue with distinctive local elements. The installation of linear stereometric elements and a cheerful system of fountains, the creation of new surfaces on different levels that adapt to the natural slope of the terrain, constitute the ingredients of the design of a new urban “void” that is functionally flexible and suited to various public activities as market, arena, meeting place, and that at the same time vaunts a distinctive atmosphere and establishes a dialogue with the inhabitants.

L’intervento dello studio –scape, con sedi a Roma e Parigi, mostra, coerentemente con le biografie dei quattro soci, una consuetudine tutta italiana nel trattare il tema della trasformazione urbana per manufatti architettonici dotati di una propria specifica identità e di una storia che, nella metamorfosi, sembra esaltarsi. Il contesto, uno dei tanti bellissimi villini liberty costruiti a Roma nei primi anni del ‘900, diviene il testo all’interno del quale inserire una scrittura architettonica libera e incisiva. Esternamente infatti l’intergrità architettonica dell’edificio originario è stata sottolineata da un’attenta quanto scrupolosa opera di restauro filologico che non ha alterato gli elementi della plastica ornamentale, mentre all’interno una diversa ridistribuzione funzionale ha innervato il rispetto della memoria con l’invenzione di una nuova configurazione volumentrica incentrata sulla sinuosa spirale della scala di collegamento che fluttua con sapienza nello spazio domestico.

The work of the –scape firm, with branches in rome and paris, witnesses, coherently with the biography of the four partners, a wholly italian familiarity with the theme of urban transformations for architectural constructions with an own specific identity and history which seems to be highlighted as a result of this metamorphosis. The context, one of the many beautiful art nouveau villas built in rome in the early years of last century, becomes a text within which to insert a free and incisive architectural writing. in fact, the architectural integrity of the exterior of the original building has been accentuated by an equally attentive and painstaking work of philological restoration which has not altered the elements of the ornamental modelling, while a new functional redistribution of the interior has innervated the respect for memory with the invention of a new configuration that centres, in terms of volume, on the sinuous spiral of the winding stairs that connect the domestic space with its fluctuating, ably designed forms.

LA SERIE E IL PARADIGMA. FRANCO PURINI E L’ARTE DEL DISEGNO PRESSO I MODERNI

3 CITTÀ (IM)POSSIBILI by C. Terpolilli

edited by P. F. Caliari, C. Gentilini, with texts by F. Bollack and L. Molinari

Franco Purini is a point of reference because of his methods in teaching and considering architecture as figurative art based on its own conventions and rules. The works presented in this catalogue refer therefore to Purina the artist, even though in his art, architecture cannot be separated from all the rest. The aim is to focus the attention on drawing as a fundamental field of action for research on architecture and the project, carrying out a critical review on the method for transmitting the science of architecture and consequently, a refoundation of teaching methods, beginning with drawing, understood as the prime principle of architecture. Drawing therefore, not only as an instrument of “geometrical” representation of what already exists or of what will exist, but above all a device for research and investigation.

Three cities that are possible, and at the same time impossible. While these cities could exist, they actually do not. They could exist, because they are made from the same rules, materials and requirements as all cities; yet they are impossible because they are radical: they admit nothing but their peculiar character, their fundamental rule. Carlo Terpolilli, reinterpreting the rich material produced by the three workshops held at the IUAV, has decided to create this book now that some years have passed since that exceptional shared human and didactic experience, and places us, at an indispensable distance. We are therefore able to observe the results with the proper detachment. And while it is true that the first impression, when rereading them, is the rich imagination and abundance of ideas, at the same time they also prove very realistic.

“Credo che non ci sia la possibilità di fare qualcosa che ci rappresenti per davvero senza un certo grado di ossessività. Sono anche stato sempre convinto che con il disegno, il progetto e la costruzione l’architetto non

3 città (im)possibili

possa risolvere le contraddizioni che la realtà ci rivela continuamente, ma penso, in accordo con la lezione di Manfredo Tafuri, che si debba rappresentarle. Ritengo inoltre che non abbia molto senso fare un mestiere come quello dell’architetto senza avere un tema da approfondire per tutta la vita. Il mio tema è il contrasto tra una spazialità costrittiva, quasi reclusoria e l’aspirazione a una libertà totale. Un tema che trova un’eco nella convivenza in me, come ho già detto, della ragione nel suo lato solare con il suo lato in ombra. Il tutto con una certa preferenza per l’ermetismo. Il disegno è infine il crogiolo nel quale l’insieme di queste motivazioni viene portato a quella temperatura di fusione che le unifica in una sostanza nello stesso tempo corporea e immateriale.”

LA PERMANENZA DEL CONCETTO DI PROPORZIONE DAL RINASCIMENTO AL MODERNO

by C. Terpolilli

by L. Andreini

Proportion as immutable principle, five hundred years since Alberti’s formulations, constitutes the first compositional reference in architecture, rule of instruction, inspiration factor, and design control. Those same proportions, that for Viollet-le-Duc depend on the “rules of geometry”, perhaps make up the element that most clearly manifests the “continuity of the classic” and the permanence of that value system that subterraneously, as is repeatedly shown in this study, coexists with adherence to the modern and the search for rationality that characterizes the experience of the twenties and thirties in Italy.

We need to reflect carefully on the contemporary meaning of building, on how we interpret it today, on the role it plays regionally and in the contemporary city, on the way in which it arrives to its construction, on its economic, social, political, and cultural conditions, and finally on the overall production and regulatory conditions. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the role that architectural design plays in returning this new reality to the building, the city, and the region, in a new relationship with construction techniques and, therefore, with technology. A role that today can become outdated, unable to accept the challenges of innovation with respect to sustainable development. Forced to be merely superficial, cosmetic, embellishment, a kind of end-user of technique, products and components.

THE PROSEV STRATEGY

The evolution of doing design in Italy is steady and progressive, following the inclination to consider the design process as a characterizing element of innovation. The project has become an industry, culture is its raw material and historical continuity is the premise of its credibility. The evolution of the project process has become a fundamental concept – believing in the possibility to improve the way of conducting certain activities, to imagine impossible meetings and clashes between things, constitutes a leading field of exploration. Planning the project is the first concrete action that determines originality. The study presented in this book hypothesizes a unique project process, which will define the relationships between the product, the service and the event, and provide answers to the transformation of needs induced by the crisis of the communications society. This volume was drawn up by a group of professordesigners and is the outcome of a permanent workshop, of a necessary analysis that must be delayed no longer. The themes discussed are ample and, in recent years, much has been said and done to examine

each of the terms tossed into the arena. How the design of services was launched and has evolved, how virtual events are modifying the way of imagining projects of cultural relations, how ethical and social aspects are modifying our way of relating to the ecosystem: these are a few of the factors that rightly find their place in this analysis. The result is an initial hypothesis for a hybrid interpretation of these aspects to identify processes that have not yet been sufficiently visualized, ready to give sense to a way of making progress in an industry that is overblown, weary and overwhelmed by the crisis. A methodological startup, a prêt-à-porter method that merits reflection. Carlo Vannicola is an Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the Genoa Polytechnic University. He was Coordinator of the Master Degree Course in Product and Event Design. He deals with design theories and practises, with a particular focus on the typological and techinological development of many products cathegory and their relationship with the present and the past. He is a theorist of design event seen as a method of research and experiences sharing.

The works of Giorgio de Chirico are among some of the most iconic in the panorama of 20th century Italian art, but few people are aware of the vast literary heritage left by the artist. In an unprecedented exhibition, at its London gallery, Tornabuoni Art is showing over 25 works that cover the entire career of the artist, with original manuscripts that offer an unknown vision of Giorgio de Chirico and his artistic world. This book, edited by Katherine Robinson, documents the important exhibition through a rich collection of iconographic works, critiques written by modern masters, his contemporaries, some love letters, and also poetry. Visitors will discover a totally new reading of di Chirico’s works through words written by his own hand. The exhibition includes nine sections, each illustrating a different subject explored by the artist during his career: Piazzas of Italy, Metaphysical Interiors, Portraits and Self-portraits, Still life studies, Mannequins, Horses and Cavaliers, Gladiators, Mythology, and mysterious Bathers in pools. The catalogue also proposes an important and hitherto unpublished contribution by Gavin Parkinson, Senior Lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Bio-bibliographic writings completes the publication.

The catalogue of the exhibition that Tornabuoni Art gallery in London dedicated to Lucio Fontana is the result of in-depth archival research. It features texts by Enrico Crispolti, author of Lucio Fontana. The essays give great insight into the origins, content and features involved in the works and in the artistic movement that the artist himself referred to as Spazialismo, illustrating the underlying reasons for the growing international interest in Fontana’s work. The authors have provided important curatorship, with historical reconstructions and critical analyses that bring to bear upon

this selection of works the full significance of the targeted research programme. The idea behind the selection is to document the cycles of work which Fontana dedicated the last twenty years of his life, so we find canvases from the Holes cycle from the opening years of the 1950s, the Stones from 1953-56, the Baroques from 1956-57, the Impastos and the Anilines from the end of the decade. There are also various types of Slashes, from the experimental ones of 1959-60 to the essentially iconic works of the 1960s, as well as the complex Little Theatres of 196466 and the new Oils with craters of the early 1960s.

LUCIO FONTANA. FINE DI DIO edited by E. Crispolti

Lucio Fontana is universally acknowledged as one of the foremost figures in the generation of artists who, in the 1950s and ‘60s, helped bring about a radical conceptual and linguistic change in contemporary art. This catalogue, published for the exhibition dedicated to the artist at Art Basel 2017, is the result of research conducted to provide a deeper understanding of a specific cycle of works by Lucio Fontana. The paintings on show, and analysed in this catalogue, belong to his series The End of God. They were painted on egg-shaped, identicallysized canvases, and feature constellations of “holes” and/

or slashes and/or scratches, which are sometimes limited to one part of the monochromatic canvas, while others cover the entire surface painted in oils (and sometimes sequins). In an interview with Carlo Cisventi in 1963, the artist explained: “For me, they represent the infinite, the inconceivable, the end of figurative representation, the beginning of nothingness.” 24×30 cm; 336 pages; ita/eng; bound hardback 2017; 978-88-99534-37-0 € 79,00

ALIGHIERO BOETTI MINIMUM / MAXIMUM edited by L. M. Barbero This volume forms the catalogue of the exhibition to be held at the Fondazione Cini, in Venice, from May 12 to July 12, 2017. It represents a wonderful unprecedented journey inside the work of Alighiero Boetti. Alighiero Boetti: Minimum / Maximum is the result of an innovative process of selection and comparison between the minimum and maximum formats of works from the artist’s most iconic cycles. It focuses on one of the themes that best represents Boetti’s creative process. The theme of format is crucial for

understanding the way in which Boetti conceived and realised his works, and is directly connected with a concept of time: the notion of the time required to realise an artwork. On a sensorial level, the minimum formats complement the larger works in dialectical opposition, characteristic of Boetti’s creative process. The exhibition is gradually developed in a comparison, point by point, between small and large scale, minimum and maximum, allowing the public to absorb and enjoy works from different periods in a single context.

ALIGHIERO BOETTI PHOTOCOPIES edited by H. U. Obrist and A. Boetti

Alighiero Boetti. Photocopies is a special project developed by Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Gallery in London, and Agata Boetti, director of the Alighiero Boetti Archives, and is on show at the Fondazione Cini in Venice, in conjunction with Alighiero Boetti: Minimum / Maximum an exhibition curated by Luca Massimo Barbero. The project explores Boetti’s strongly dialectic thought process as it revolves around the theme of photocopies. The volume contains extensive written material, including an introductory essay by Obrist, another by Agata Boetti, a long, previously unpublished

conversation between Agata Boetti and Obrist and two critical analyses by Michelle Cotton and Mario Garcia Torres respectively. The publication also includes the complete reproduction of 111 photocopied images originally bound in an elegant volume with a red cloth cover. This work combines candid photographs of certain moments of Alighiero’s private life and, at the same time, images of contemporary life and events recovered from newspapers and magazines; it represents a universal selection through its widespread appeal to all sections of the public.

ALIGHIERO BOETTI MAPPE

edited by L. Cherubini

edited by S. Risaliti

This book, presented at the exhibition dedicated to Boetti at the Tornabuoni Art gallery in London is not only an exhibition catalogue but also a vivid portrait of the artist and his personality as well as an insight into his life history. The editor, Laura Cherubini, collected interviews, essays, and contributions from a large number of renowned artists and critics who knew Boetti well. They provide a detailed profile of the artist, his thinking, and his oeuvre. For one special chapter, the editor obtained the precious collaboration of Hans Ulrich Obrist and some unpublished contributions dedicated to a selection of “unfinished projects”: ideas that remained

trapped within drawings, prototypes, and sketches, which can be imagined through the narrative of a person who attempted to realise these works with Boetti. As well as his writings, Hans Ulrich Obrist, art curator and director of the Serpentine Gallery in London, also gives an interview talking about his meeting with Boetti and how important and significant this encounter was for his career as curator. This book is further enriched with an unpublished text by Agata Boetti dedicated to the experience of creating Mappe, its initial idea and realisation; the volume also includes other important texts and iconographic contributions.

ARNALDO POMODORO essays by B. Corà

The book retraces the career and works of the famous Italian sculptor through the illustration of more than fifty pieces selected from Pomodoro’s historical repertoire, some of which are on show at the exhibition, while others are an essential complement in representing the artist’s long and rich career as completely as possible. The works are introduced by a long critical essay by Bruno Corà written for the artist’s monographic exhibition held in Paris in 2011. The text provides the reader with a double reflection, not only on the unquestionable merit of Pomodoro’s works and the founding aspects of his artistic production, but also on the role played by his contribution to the Italian and international cultural scene. Certain texts written by the artist himself define and assist in understanding the different series of works in various stages of his sculptural production.

The second volume accompanies SCHEGGI’s individual exhibition at the Tornabuoni Art gallery in Paris. A comprehensive, exacting catalogue seeks to outline Scheggi’s extraordinary, interdisciplinary artistic explorations, starting with this early work in the 1950s to his last conceptual and metaphysical directions in the early 1970s. The catalogue starts from the essential view that Scheggi’s full œuvre, in its cohesive eclecticism, cannot be understood in separate phases or times. Taking it as a single trajectory of his life and art, the catalogue is divided into seven chronological and thematic parts, introduced by writings by Luca Massimo Barbero and abundant footnotes to suggest further, useful readings. This division helps to understand the different points of the unified trajectory of Paolo Scheggi’s work where the absolute definition of form comes up against the thrill of a constant re-assessment of the work, between its extension in space and its metaphysical rarefaction.

JAN FABRE GLASS AND BONE SCULPTURES 1977-2017 edited by G. Di Pietrantonio, K. Koskina e D. Ozerkov

Jan Fabre has always been strongly fascinated by alchemy and the memory of matter. This new volume – published on the occasion of his exhibition at the Abbazia di San Gregorio, one of the collateral events of the Venice Biennale – includes previously unpublished works and contexts, the result of a meticulous selection by the curators Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, Katerina Koskina and Dimitri Ozerkov: works in glass and bone created by the artist during a period that spans from 1977 to 2017, are on show together for the first time. The artist makes a reference to Flemish Masters who used crushed bone in their paintings , and to Venetian glass-blowers. Fabre has deliberately chosen two materials that are hard and strong, but delicate and fragile at the same time. “The philosophical and poetic reason behind associating human and animal bones with glass, comes from a recollection of my sister as a child playing with a tiny glass object. It made me think of the flexibility of human bone structure and the flexibility used in glass-blowing techniques. Certain animals, and all human beings, leave their mother’s womb like molten glass from the furnace.

They can be modelled, bent, and shaped with a surprising level of freedom.” (Jan Fabre 2017) The catalogue contains critiques by the curators, and contributions by Melania Rossi and Adriano Berengo and naturally includes extensive iconographic material illustrating all the works on show in the exhibition. At the same time, this volume bears witness and documents an exceptional event, part of one of the most important artistic exhibitions in the world.

JEFF KOONS IN FLORENCE edited by S. Risaliti, with texts by C. Acidini, E. Capretti, C. Francini, E. Nesi, N. Rosenthal, F. Vossilla, J. Pissarro

“THE GAZING BALL SERIES IS BASED IN TRANSCENDENCE. THE REALIZATION OF ONE'S MORTALITY IS AN ABSTRACT THOUGHT AND FROM THERE, ONE IS ABLE TO HAVE A CONCEPT OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD, ONE'S FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND A VASTER DIALOGUE WITH HUMANKIND BEYOND THE PRESENT.” – J. KOONS

The volume has been published on the occasion of the exhibition Jeff Koons in Florence, hosted at Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria. Two works, Pluto and Proserpina (from the series Antiquity) and the Barberini Faun (from the series Gazing Ball) will be temporarily shown in two special locations, one public – the Arengario – next to the classical sculptures by Donatello and Michelangelo, and one more private and intimate, inside the Sala dei Gigli of the Palazzo Vecchio. The book is enriched with numerous texts by internationally renowned critics, presenting many points of reflection, in particular on the specifics of this exhibition and in general on the body of work of one of the most important exponents of the Postmodern. A section devoted to biographical and bibliographical matter and a summary of the exhibited works, together with a large collection of images from the Jeff Koons Studio, provides an important overview of the artist’s prolific career.

HUMAN ANTONY GORMLEY edited by A. Natalini and S. Risaliti with an essay by A. Benjamin

Human is the catalogue curated by Arabella Natalini and Sergio Risaliti, of the exhibition by one of the world’s most recognised and appreciated contemporary artists, Antony Gormley. Once again the exceptional architecture of the Forte di Belvedere in Florence forms the background to a remarkable exhibition that should not be missed. Over a hundred iron sculptures are arranged in the grounds and building of the Medici fortress and will form an integral part of the monument

for several months. The amazing exhibition is described and narrated in this richly illustrated catalogue containing important art critiques by Andrew Benjamin, Marco Casamonti, Mario Codognato and Sergio Risaliti. A long conversation between Antony Gormley and Arabella Natalini offers an insight into the personality of the artist, his intentions, the way he visually perceives and captures the acoustics of the spaces in which he positions his anthropomorphic figures.

EMILIO ISGRÒ edited by M. Bazzini with texts by L. M. Barbero and M. Copeland

Conceptual artist and painter, but also a poet, writer, playwright and producer, Emilio Isgrò (born in 1937) is one of the most famous Italian figures of the international art scene spanning the 20th and 21st centuries. Isgrò began his career in the 1960s, creating extremely revolutionary and original works that resulted in several invitations to exhibit at the Venice Biennale (1972, 1978, 1986, and 1993) and the awarding of the first prize at the São Paulo Art Biennial (1977). Retracing the career of the artist through his most significant series of works: erasures, cartography, visual poetry, seeds, and his most recent works based on identity and nature, this retrospective helps demonstrate the great relevance of the Italian cultural movement in the post-war period, and at the same time, the dialogue created

by Isgrò with international conceptual art. This publication was designed to provide a further key to interpretation, leading the reader to travel beyond simple intuition, in order to perceive the deeper meaning. Isgrò was able to combine painting and writing, uprooting them from the role that they normally represent to highlight the fundamental essence and accentuate the underlying significance.

SCARPITTA RACING CARS / ART BASEL 2016 a cura di L. Sansone and V. Fasan

In this book, Luigi Sansone, the author of the catalogue raisonée on Scarpitta, deals with one of the most fascinating but also least understood aspects of the creative talent of Salvatore Scarpitta. Through photos from archives, it has been possible to present a far deeper reading of these works, especially in the case of the Sal Ardun Special model, whose aesthetic form resembled the cars built by Scarpitta in the sixties; however, unlike the previous models, this was no longer a simulation, because for the first time, the artist also equipped the model with a functioning motor. The essays included in the catalogue describe the artist and his work with great precision, defining the origin and theoretical context from which these works took form, and how they were developed, exhibited and became recognised by a far-reaching public. 24×28 cm; 176 pages; eng/ita; bodonian style binding, cloth spine 2016; Isbn 978-88-99534-16-5 € 55,00 9

NEAPOLITAN PAINTING THE CARLA AND FRANCESCO VALERIO COLLECTION texts by N. Spinosa

The Neapolitan school of painting assumed its personal artistic identity from the 17th century onwards through the work of several important artists influenced by the teachings of Caravaggio who lived in Naples between 1607 and 1610. Over one hundred paintings representing three centuries of history and belonging to the “Neapolitan Collection” of Carla and Francesco Valerio are featured in this volume; the paintings are described and illustrated in great detail by Nicola Spinosa. Spinosa has written many books on the topic and is considered a leading expert in Neapolitan painting. His detailed introductions precede the descriptions of the individual works, containing stories both sacred and profane. The book contains a series of portraits of saints and stories of devotion, adoration of the shepherds and magi, each brushstroke creating scenes exuding spirituality, emotion, personality and strength. Faith and paganism weave together with stories of heroes

and gods and new takes on classical myths. We also see plenty of reality here, “real life” in all its hard work, depicted in gestures, poses, food and flower compositions, and pretty views. A few of the many artists included in this impressive publication are: Giovan Filippo Criscuolo, Francesco Guarino, Bernardo Cavallino, Antonio De Bellis, Salvator Rosa, Luca Giordano, Giovan Battista Ruoppolo, Abraham Brueghel, Guglielmo Courtois, Juan Ruiz, Tomás Ruiz, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, and Charles-François Grenier De La Croix.

JOHN CURRIN PAINTINGS edited by S. Risaliti with an essay by A. Nesi

John Currin is the catalogue title of the exhibition to be held at the Museo Stefano Bardini beginning on June 2016. His ambitious paintings seduce, shock, and surprise at the same time. Currin’s well-mastered technique results from the control and emulation of the composition, graphic rhythm, and refined finishes typical of 16th and 17th century Northern European paintings. His inspiration is drawn from portraits by old masters, pin-up girls, pornography and B movies, so Currin paints images that challenge conventional sense and taste, with his perverse ideals about women, including libidinous nymphs, strict middleaged women and the most angelic of feminine models. 20,5×28 cm; 84 pages; ita or eng; paper binding with flaps 2016; Isbn 978-88-99534-19-6 (ita) € 30,00

GLENN BROWN PIACERI SCONOSCIUTI edited by di S. Risaliti

Glenn Brown creates an artistic language that transcends time and pictorial conventions. His mannerist instincts stem from the desire to breathe new life into the distant confines of historical form. Through references, appropriation and research, he presents a contemporary reading of images that are fixed in memory. His figures and landscapes, borrowed from the world of history of art, are gradually transformed in exuberant entities. Different historic periods: Renaissance, Impressionism, and Surrealism, are blended in sophisticated compositions. Brown creates a space in which the abstract, the visceral, the rational and irrational, the beautiful and grotesque, come together in a frenetic amalgamation. This book forms the catalogue of the exhibition to be held between June 10 and October 26 at the Museo Bardini in Florence. Alongside the renowned collection of the great nineteenth and twentieth century art dealer and collector Stefano Bardini, more than thirty works by Glenn Brown will be on show, including paintings, drawings and sculptures. Some of the

works have been created specifically for the exhibition and will be shown for the first time. This book offers comprehensive documentation and bears witness to this wonderful cultural event that places the city of Florence in the forefront in its promotion of contemporary art.
