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.
"Diller + Scofidio ("+"Renfro)" covers their development,
documenting about twenty works, for the earliest to the most
recent. It also includes essays investigating the studio's contect,
influences and strategies; some interviews with the architects; and
a scheme showing the evolutiuon and growth of the studio from 1979
to today.
