Summary:
"For me, the fascination with post-war Italian architecture stems in no small part from direct exposure to it – a familiarity that comes from teaching at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio and countless visits to the country that lies just across the border." Written between 2012 and 2025, this is a collection of texts about the author's fascination with Italy and his interest in its architecture and urban culture. Many of the papers are adapted from lectures and course notes for students, and based on a way of working which prioritises learning by looking and advocates that architectural design should be rooted in the detailed observation of the existing.

Summary:
Questo progetto fotografico sui maestri dell’architettura a Napoli, che avrebbe potesaurirsi in un ennesimo atlante di monumenti del contemporaneo, è stato per Ferrara l’occasione per un nuovo viaggio attraverso mezzo secolo della storia di Napoli (con una coda al Museo del Sannio di Benevento). Ognuno dei dodici capitoli di cui si compone il percorso – qui riproposto di necessità in forma schematica – costituisce infatti un breve saggio di studio o, come suggerisce il fotografo statunitense Stephen Shore, il tentativo di dare forma e risolvere attraverso la sequenza, seppur provvisoriamente, un problema di rappresentazione elaborato sul campo. Abbandonando qualsiasi postura stilistica, il fotografo ha articolato secondo necessità visioni frontali e scorci, campi lunghissimi e dettagli, esterni ed interni, le luci ammorbidite dal cielo velato di nubi e il disegno chiaroscurale delle ombre portate.

Summary:
This is the first publication on the Prague Werkbund Housing Estate "Baba", a symbol of architectural Modernism in the Czech Republic. Up until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the housing estate "Baba" in Prague was a little-known tip. This was the last building exhibition which the Werkbund set up in Europe in 1932 and symbolises an entire era, vividly depicting Modern Architecture in the Czech Republic, which has gained growing international recognition since 1989. Three generations of architects were active here; the older generation, still influenced by Cubism, include Janak and Gocar; the middle generation, whose works were purist and functionalist, include Linhart and Stary; and the younger generation, for example, Ladislav Zak, who with their sweeping forms wished to distance themselves from 'white functionalism'. With copious, unpublished source material, this book analyses for the first time the particular status which the Prague Housing Estate has in architectural history. It addresses architectural and sociopolitical topics, documents the individual projects and looks at the circumstances of the private clients.
