Summary:
Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli designed two important public buildings in the ancient city center of Bressanone, South Tyrol. Just over five hundred meters apart, the two works, the Music School, and the Public Library allowed for reasoning about the city's architecture, exercising a method made up of ideas that look at the peculiarities of places. In a historical period in which the image—by virtue of its visual impact even before its meaning—has taken on the role of the main channel of communication, the Luogo Comune ("common place")—understood both as a meeting space and as the lowest common denominator of an "essential language"—might provide the interval of reflection necessary to start asking some simple, elementary questions about what surrounds us. Within this publishing project, the authors talk about the passage of time, the concept of place and method through the anthropological approach underpinning the photographs taken by Armin Linke in several site visits made in the cities of Treviso, Brixen and Munich, between 2020 and 2021.

Summary:
L'œuvre « dessinée » de Peter Märkli peut être étudiée indépendamment de son œuvre construite. Parfois, on retrouve ces dessins dans ses œuvres réalisées mais, en général, il s'agit plutôt de projets ou plus précisément de thèmes de projets en puissance. Pour Märkli, le dessin est un traitement sensible de stimuli et de suggestions, une appropriation personnelle d'une expérience. Ses dessins montrent parfois des marques d'effacement, d'hésitation. Ils sont lisibles en superposition et permettent de multiples niveaux de lecture, en épaisseur, en profondeur : il s'agit clairement d'une recherche de réponses. L'idée s'y décline en variations : couleur, proportions, hiérarchies, ordre, pleins et vides, mouvement. La feuille dessinée est donc le lieu où l'idée n'est pas « simplement » représentée ou décrite, mais plutôt ce chemin tortueux où elle naît, se développe et se précise. Après « Peter Märkli. À la recherche d'un langage », publié en 2019 par Cosa Mentale, Caryatide, propose à nouveau une étude approfondie de l'œuvre de Peter Märkli. Le livre « Peter Märkli. Dessins, disegni » se présente comme une réédition (édition franco-italienne), augmentée et mise à jour avec des planches inédites, de l'ouvrage original paru chez Quart Verlag en 2015 (édition anglo-allemande). Le livre est constitué d'une sélection du corpus de 700 dessins collectés au fil des ans par Peter Märkli lui-même. Les dessins sont accompagnés de huit essais écrits par des auteurs liés à Peter Märkli.

Summary:
Despite the fact that he shaped Venice and its contemporary form, Eugenio Miozzi remains a little-known figure. Yet both locals and visitors experience his legacy every day, in particular when they cross his bridges: from the Ponte della Libertà, to the Ponte dell’Accademia; from the various bridges over the Rio Nuovo, to the exemplary Ponte degli Scalzi. Miozzi, chief engineer of the Commune of Venice from 1931 to 1954, carried out a large number of works and projects, including a vast modernist parking garage and the Casino on the Lido. The prolific engineer-architect played a role in the development of the Teatro La Fenice, made plans for the restoration of the city and the extension of the Tronchetto, and designed a translagoon road and a motorway from Venice to Munich. These projects and the others presented in this illustrated volume represent Miozzi’s tireless efforts to guarantee the city’s survival by combining its centuries-old traditions with a spirit of innovation.

Summary:
"New Living” (Das Neue Wohnen) was the title of an exceptional architectural propaganda film created in 1930 by German avant-garde artist and filmmaker Hans Richter. It show-cased exemplary modernist buildings and furniture – some of which were on view shortly afterwards in the prestigious exhibitions "The International Style” – and contrasted them with impractical, unhygienic living spaces. The visual diversity of "New Living”, and its use of an experimental montage technique, pioneered a radical new method of portraying architecture on celluloid. This publication includes detailed sequences from the New Living film, as well as numerous documents that illustrate the new style of architectural modernism. Previously priced at $96.00.
