Résumé:
The first ever English translation of Bruno Munari's ''Design and Visual Communication'' (1968) fills a gap in Munari's output for the English-speaking world and provides a highly relevant guide to bridging architecture and design education and everyday life. Published in 1968 after Munari was invited to the Carpenter Center at Harvard to teach, the book transforms over 50 lessons, class materials and letters addressed to the city of Milan, into a book on the future of art, architecture and design. Conceived as a living volume, the book is written to inspire current and future designers to push beyond past events, however recent, and develop new tools to see and understand tomorrow's world.

Résumé:
The projects featured in this issue are presented under three themes: “The habitable wall”, “Cities of the dead”, and “Down to earth”. The first considers two new linear projects in Italy – Herzong & de Meuron’s Feltrinelli Porta Volta in Milan and City of Sun by Labics in Rome – both of which interject a modern palisade along the edge of well-defined urban district. The second theme looks at the fascinating challenge of building for the dead through four new projects in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Netherlands. The final section takes rammed earth as its subject, highlighting five architects who show that this ancient material can still be used to produce exciting modern architecture.

Résumé:
In this collection of essays, Ackerman offers insight into his formation and development as a scholar, as well as reflections on a range of topics. Concise, lucid, and original, this book presents deep syntheses alongside innovative approaches and a broadening geographical and chronological reach. Ackerman’s enduring fascination with architecture was one unforeseen consequence of his military service in World War II, and the collection includes a revealing account of his part in the liberation of Milan as a soldier in the Fifth American Regiment. These essays represent a unique, personal journey—from the Italian Renaissance to the classical architecture of India and the work of Frank Gehry at the new museum of the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.

Résumé:
Cofounder of the Droog Design collective, the Dutch designer, art historian, critic and curator Renny Ramakers (born 1946) has championed the notion of furniture and industrial design as a reimagination of today's world for more than three decades, combining virtual technologies and social media with the craft of design to develop new social relations. When Droog first exhibited at the Milan furniture fair in 1993, its assemblies of found materials and witty forms instantly changed the landscape of design. Since then, Ramakers has worked with makers and creators to move beyond slick objects and toward critical projects that open our eyes to our multifaceted realities while bringing great access and joy to users.

Résumé:
Gio Ponti (1891-1979), architecte italien majeur, aura tout exploré - ou presque. Décoration, architecture, mobilier, arts de la table, verre, céramique, dessin... aucun domaine du design ou de l'expression artistique n'a échappé à sa fantaisie et à son désir de promouvoir le beau sous toutes ses formes. De la conception de la villa Planchart, à Caracas, à la décoration du mythique hôtel Parco dei Principi, à Sorrente, en passant par la création de la revue Domus, il a mis en œuvre les principes d'une casa all'italiana où les arts vivraient en harmonie. Une vision qu'il a su adapter aux styles du xxe siècle, du Novecento au Rationalisme, comme en témoignent des icônes telles que la chaise Superleggera ou la tour Pirelli, à Milan.

Résumé:
La critique du mouvement moderne s’exprime dans les travaux de Robert Venturi et Charles Jencks, mais c’est au travers de trois expositions italiennes retentissantes que va être mis en exergue l’éclectisme de ce que l’on a appelé le post-modernisme. La XVe Triennale de Milan (1973), Roma Interrotta (1978) et la première biennale d’architecture de Venise (1980) réunissent les protagonistes américains et européens qui explorent de nouvelles voies dans la conception du projet architectural et urbain, et alimentent un dialogue renouvelé avec l’histoire et une redéfinition de l’urbanité. À travers des concepts et des scénographies diverses (cadavre exquis, collage, kitsch, citation, …), ces manifestations invitent à s’interroger autant sur ce que doit être une exposition d’architecture que sur le message qu’elle doit véhiculer.

Résumé:
The projects of David Chipperfield Architects stand for clarity and reduction. Founded in London in 1985, the architecture firm is now working in several countries and on different continents. Its striking designs are characterized by the fact that they do without eccentric gestures. Instead, carefully coordinated materials, proportions and forms create a unity in which old and new, tradition and innovation are on a par with each other. This monograph documents the sophisticated solutions of 23 international projects realised by David Chipperfield Architects London, Berlin, Milan, and Shanghai. The selection from the firm’s extensive portfolio presents different building typologies and construction tasks, be it new buildings, restoration, extensions or interiors. A view behind the scenes retells the challenge of major architectural milestones.

Résumé:
This small-format volume presents more than 200 furniture and objects made between 1981 and 1986 for the Memphis collection. Memphis was an Italian design and architecture collective founded by Ettore Sottsass, a leading exponent of 1980s postmodernism. It was the outcome of a long process that began at the Olivetti company in Ivrea, where Sottsass had been the design coordinator since the late 1950s, and continued with the research of the radical architecture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, in Florence and Europe. The publication documents the eponymous 2022 Milan exhibition on the group, for which Memphis works were dynamically installed in chronological order in the style of a fashion show, with quotes by critics, architects and designers projected on the walls.
