A special 212-page issue featuring Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi’s critical narrative in 20 chapters on the last 20 years of architecture in Italy. Year by year, Carlo Ezechieli observes and comments on international works that have defined the period and interpreted emerging trends. Pierluigi Molteni examines the evolution of design in the decisive transition from the age of ownership to the age of experience, and Jacopo Acciaro writes about the evolution of lighting. The legacy of the 20th century is explored in the texts and photographs by Alexander Zoeggeler (Carlo Scarpa’s Casa Tabarelli, Sergio Los, and the recent underground extension by Walter Angonese) and Silvia Monaco (Chandigarh today, between urban planning and lived-in city).
