Luogo, mappa, limite, storia, varco, tatto, setaccio, metafora: la pelle contiene in sé una molteplicità di caratteristiche e funzioni, è il luogo d'incontro tra fenomeni fisici e psichici, confine fra lo stato interiore ed esteriore della persona. Dalla chirurgia all'agopuntura, dalla body art alle pratiche rituali come il tatuaggio, la pelle è il segno del nostro passaggio nel mondo, e ne porta con sé i significati e le tracce. Nei propri laboratori di Disegno Industriale presso l'Università di San Marino, Riccardo Blumer invita a confrontarsi con il materiale "pelle", capirne la logica e provocare la curiosità del progettare. Risultato di queste riflessioni, riportate in questo volume grazie ai testi dello stesso Blumer, Gaddo Morpurgo (Università di San Marino) e Luigi Zanzi (Università dell'Insubria), sono oggetti nati non per essere "prodotti", ovvero, non prototipi di possibile merce. Sono ricerca, esperimenti di intreccio di forma e materia, puri punti di partenza del pensiero.

Summary:
Mussolini’s bold claims upon the monuments and rhetoric of ancient Rome have been the subject of a number of recent books. D. Medina Lasansky shows us a much less familiar side of the cultural politics of Italian Fascism, tracing its wide-ranging efforts to adapt the nation’s medieval and Renaissance heritage to satisfy the regime’s programs of national regeneration. Anyone acquainted with the beauties of Tuscany will be surprised to learn that architects, planners, and administrators working within Fascist programs fabricated much of what today’s tourists admire as authentic. Public squares, town halls, palaces, gardens, and civic rituals (including the famed palio of Siena) were all "restored" to suit a vision of the past shaped by Fascist notions of virile power, social order, and national achievement in the arts. Ultimately, Lasansky forces readers to question long-standing assumptions about the Renaissance even as she expands the parameters of what constitutes Fascist culture.The arguments in The Renaissance Perfected are based in fresh archival evidence and a rich collection of illustrations, many reproduced for the first time, ranging from photographs and architectural drawings to tourist posters and film stills. Lasansky’s groundbreaking book will be essential reading for students of medieval, Renaissance, and twentieth-century Italy as well as all those concerned with visual culture, architectural preservation, heritage studies, and tourism studies.

Comme le langage, la ville se transforme sans cesse et surprend toujours.Est-ce si grave ? Pas pour le promeneur qui, en chaque lieu ou presque, comme le libertin de Kundera, est mu par « le désir de s’emparer de l’infi nie diversité du monde ». Surtout s’il ne projette pas sur les villes un idéal subjectif. Bien sûr, personne ne vit dans un état permanent de bien-être absolu. Mais chacun peut apprécier les moments où il est en paix avec la ville telle qu’elle est, malgré ce qu’elle est.

Les infrastructures inscrivent sur le territoire des imaginaires réalisés de la ville, de la mobilité et des transports, un système de communication symbolique aussi puissant que les infrastructures matérielles. Cette dimension peu souvent approchée des infrastructures est investie par cet ouvrage. La culture mythologique, fictionnelle ou fantasmatique des infrastructures s'explore dans l'analyse des productions filmiques et discursives, et dans les pratiques et expériences de la route que développe et exporte "en masse" la culture américaine d'après-guerre. La puissance de l'imaginaire infrastructurel se révèle dans ce qui lie l'infrastructure aux récits du futur, futurs des villes ou de l'architecture. Il n'y a alors pas de futur sans infrastructure. Approchées dans toutes les échelles de ses perceptions, passant de l'oeil à fouie avec les infrastructures sonores, du monument unique au réseau mondial des flagship, du symbole du progrès à un outil de communication de la société post-industrielle, de la présence dure et durable à la flexibilité, au détournement ou à l'adaptation, les infrastructures dessinent le paysage multicouche de notre environnement bâti, sensoriel et spectaculaire.

Peut-on en dire autant des pièces de Le Corbusier et de Charlotte Perriand ? Près d'un siècle plus tard, elles occupent le premier plan. Créatrices indépendantes, éditrices, galeristes, commissaires d'expositions, elles se sont emparées de la discipline à tous les niveaux. De Marianne Brandt, icône du Bauhaus, à Zaha Hadid en passant par Andrée Putman ou Matali Crasset, cet ouvrage passe en revue, à travers plus de 300 documents, les plus grands noms du design, de l'Art Nouveau à aujourd'hui.
