Résumé:
‘Food’ is an exploration of the architectural issues associated with storing, distribution, consumption, and disposal of food and raw materials, stimulating debate with respect to our contemporary situation of crowded cities and overpopulation. With more than 50 works by various artists and architects, the exhibition at MAXXI tackles the global political, social, urban, and economic effects of food on communities and regions. Divided into six sections – body, house, street, city, landscape, world – it ranges from the individual to the planetary dimension in its examination and questioning of the major geopolitical issues and networks for the production and distribution of food.

Gabriele Basilico (Milan, 1944-2013) est considéré comme un des maîtres de la photographie contemporaine. Après un diplôme d'architecte en 1973, il dédie sa vie à la photographie. Les mutations du paysage actuel, la forme et l'identité urbanistique sont autant de champs de recherches privilégiés.

Résumé:
Catalogue of the ''Technoscape'' exhibition, which was held at MAXXI in Autumn 2022, focused on the relationship between artistic and scientific disciplines, nowadays closer than ever, and the consequent contacts between technique, creativity, and social awareness. Architecture, engineering, and science have overlapped on numerous occasions during the 20th century. First in the heroic phase and then in the mature phase of the reinforced concrete, then with the affirmation of hi-tech construction methods in the 1970s and 1980s and finally with the eruption of digitally controlled technologies. The volume follows the dual register of the exhibition, first dealing with how technology is making architecture, urban planning, and other related disciplines more aware of their technical and scientific responsibility and capable of opening up new lines of research. The focus shifts then to structural engineering, comparing current masterpieces with previous historical modernist examples.

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.
