Summary:
The post-war years were a very intense period of experiments, visions and imagination. The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies.

Summary:
The post-war years were a very intense period of experiments, visions and imagination. The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies. For some of them, such as Buckminster Fuller, technology was the resource that was to save the world, as in the case of covering Manhattan with a glass dome, almost to preserve it like an ancient ruin. Thus, this new issue of archphoto2.0 is dedicated to the "Visionary Thinkers", to those who turned their minds to imagine new scenarios.

"Holiday Houses" is the new critical survey that projects archphoto2.0’s fourth issue as the most architectural one, without the interdisciplinary crossbreeding and political connotation that were ingredients of the previous issues. But thinking about this issue also means reflecting on the concept of holiday’s evolution now that one doesn’t need to own a holiday house(...)

Summary:
"Holiday Houses" is the new critical survey that projects archphoto2.0’s fourth issue as the most architectural one, without the interdisciplinary crossbreeding and political connotation that were ingredients of the previous issues. But thinking about this issue also means reflecting on the concept of holiday’s evolution now that one doesn’t need to own a holiday house and can very well use a rental house for this purpose. And not even any house at that, but the result of a project of education to modernity like the one developed by philosopher Alain de Botton who asked celebrated and less known architects to address the issue of home-living in different locations in Great Britain. An interesting project in its attempt to establish a “modern” collective conscience although conflicting in its fluctuating between vernacular cottages and more contemporary designs.

The city is where Italian radical architecture represented and experimented its theories.

Summary:
The city is where Italian radical architecture represented and experimented its theories. While the early projects remained theoretical proposals, some contributions by Archizoom, Superstudio, or Strum established an ambiguous relationship with design that became crucial after the international exhibition "Italy: the new domestic landscape", curated by Emilio Ambasz at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1972. With the exception of Zziggurat, all participants, such as UFO, Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra and 9999, chose the "piazza" - the public space - for their theoretical and practical experimentation as the adequate venue for installations and performances that used the same language as that of artists.
