Writing Architecture in Modern Italy tells the history of an intellectual group connected to the small but influential Italian Einaudi publishing house between the 1930s and the 1950s. It concentrates on a diverse group of individuals, including Bruno Zevi, an architectural historian and politician; Giulio Carlo Argan, an art historian; Italo Calvino, a fiction writer; Giulio Einaudi, a publisher; and Elio Vittorini and Cesare Pavese, both writers and translators. Linking architectural history and historiography within a broader history of ideas, this book proposes four different methods of writing history, defining historiographical genres, modes, and tones of writing that can be applied to history writing to analyze political and social moments in time. It identifies four writing genres: myths, chronicles, history, and fiction, which became accepted as forms of multiple postmodern historical stories after 1957. An important contribution to the architectural debate, Writing Architecture in Modern Italy will appeal to those interested in the history of architecture, history of ideas, and architectural education.

Hybrid Interiors collects intriguing and inspiring residences from around the world that illustrate bold and innovative combinations of styles, cultures, and functions.
The ciliary muscle reproduces the effect of a lens and allows the
eye to focus or blur vision. It became the emblem of the critical
vision that Diller + Scofidio (+ Renfro) had in their research and
experimentation, including most recently the High Line park design
for New York City. Their interdisciplinary projects range from
objects, installations, and performances to media and architecture.
In recent years they have expanded- with a third partner joining
their studio-to embrace projects on a larger urban scale.
