This book presents a new chapter in a series of installations that different visual artists and architects from around the world created in Mies van der Rohe's emblematic building.

Architettura è mestiere o spazio di autonomia del pensiero critico? E se è arte, come si configura il suo processo creativo e “produttivo”? In quella contraddizione le avanguardie storiche hanno dibattuto per affermarsi, spesso costruendo ideologie che la critica ha svelato, soprattutto quella degli anni settanta dello IUAV, poi ripresa da I. de Solà-Morales, dai(...)

Summary:
Architettura è mestiere o spazio di autonomia del pensiero critico? E se è arte, come si configura il suo processo creativo e “produttivo”? In quella contraddizione le avanguardie storiche hanno dibattuto per affermarsi, spesso costruendo ideologie che la critica ha svelato, soprattutto quella degli anni settanta dello IUAV, poi ripresa da I. de Solà-Morales, dai gruppi americani di “Oppositions” e di “Any”. Il saggio ripercorre le principali fasi di quel dibattito — che l’autore considera ormai esaurito — e auspica un ritorno alle origini dell’atto creativo che l’Architettura comunque rappresenta, anche in assenza di quelle “avanguardie” che gli architetti hanno da sempre (avuto) nel loro DNA.
