Summary:
Né en 1938, Andrea Branzi vit et travaille à Milan. Acteur du mouvement radical italien, du groupe Alchimia puis de Memphis, il a œuvré à libérer le design de la tyrannie de l'objet industriel et du standard, pour le doter de pouvoirs de résonance et d'évocation. Il ouvre ainsi la voie vers la multiplicité des formes que revêt aujourd'hui le design. La ville est son champ d'observation privilégié et l'humain, sa première préoccupation. Un parcours forte et singulier, au cœur de l'histoire du design des XXe et XXIe siècles. Ses œuvres sont collectionnées dans les musées du monde entier.

Summary:
Faced with questions about how to adapt and reuse a former industrial site in the center of town, an international insurance corporation, together with the Swiss city of Winterthur, held a competition among architecture and design firms to come up with an innovative, effective plan. The winning firm was the Vienna-based Architekt Krischanitz, and their submission, Superblock, is a striking idea given a brilliant execution: it combines a large workshop where diesel engines were assembled with newly constructed yet visually complementary buildings. This book details the project from concept to completion, using numerous photographs, plans, and visualizations to trace the history of the site, the genesis and development of the Superblock concept, and the revitalization of the neighborhood that it is expected to lead.
