As a leading architect, as well as a pioneer in industrial design in the early postwar period, Zanuso was a key protagonist in the relationship of postwar Italian architecture culture to industrialization and capitalism. He is therefore an indicative figure with respect to the broader shift from Modernism to Postmodernism in architecture. Whereas previous studies of Zanuso have addressed either his architecture or his industrial design, this study traces the mutual influence of these practices in Zanuso's early work. The four chapters examine a selection of his projects to reconstruct their relationships to concurrent discourses in Italian art, architecture, and industry. In addition, the chapters show how these projects can be understood as conceptual and practical benchmarks along the way to the eventual realization of a continuum of design from small to large scale, and especially an architecture in which the serial nature of mass production would be explicit. The first chapter, whose topic is Zanuso's relationship to Italian modern architecture between the two World Wars, relates his embrace of mass-production around 1946, in essays on prefabricated architecture, to his student work in the 1930s and to his first projects during Reconstruction, emphasizing the influence of the Gruppo 7, Giuseppe Pagano, and Ernesto Nathan Rogers. The second chapter, whose topic is architecture and art, looks at Zanuso's mural-covered Viale Gorizia building and other projects, and at his involvement in the "synthesis of the arts" discourse with adherents of the Italian arte concreta ("concrete art") movement, including Gillo Dorfles, Mario Ballocco, Bruno Munari, and Gianni Dova. The third chapter identifies the mass- produced apartment complexes on Via Laveno (1963) and Via Solaroli (1965) as Zanuso's first realized examples of industrial architecture, and places these in the context of the broader assimilation of industrial production methods by artists and architects in Milan around 1960. In addition, the third chapter examines the portrayal of Zanuso in the press in relation to the emergence of the architect- designer as a public figure in Italy and the identification of the industrial product with consumerism. The fourth chapter, whose topic is Zanuso's association with Olivetti, considers his factories for the company, designed between 1953 and 1972, in relation to the corporate program conceived by Adriano Olivetti, with Leonardo Sinisgalli and others, to intercalate rational design and planning into the fabric of civic and social life, from the object to the territorial scale. By scanning Zanuso's early work through these topics, this study demonstrates that he drew imperatives from various sources. These investigations show that his industrial design practice proceeded in tandem with his incorporation of production into architecture, in keeping with his longstanding ideas about the architect's responsibility to maintain civility in the use of technology. The argument of the dissertation is that, while Zanuso's interest in design reflected a wider fascination with technological capacities, it was also a means by which he gained access to practices of mass production that he went on to apply to architecture and interiors as well as to furniture and appliances. Through the examination of his projects and archival documents, the chapters demonstrate that Zanuso's work belies the often-repeated generalization that Italian industrial design was a reflection of the consumerism and commercial culture that arrived in Italy after the War, and overtook Milan during the 1960s.

    Lezione 12 – Da Montenapoleone in Duomo (Dia 1) Lasciamo ancora una volta Montenapoleone per entrare a sinistra in via S. Andrea dove al n, 6 troviamo (Dia 2) il PALAZZO MORANDO ATTENDOLO BOLOGNINI, al cui interno si trovano la COLLEZIONE COSTUME MODA E IMMAGINE e il MUSEO DI MILANO. Pare che la contessa Bolognini fosse addirittura l'amante del re Umberto I; Edificato nel ‘500, il Palazzo fu residenza di alcune tra le più importanti famiglie milanesi, tra cui i Villa che nel corso del XVIII secolo fecero eseguire sull’edificio numerosi interventi, conferendogli l’impronta rococò, che tuttora lo caratterizza. Nei primi anni del XX secolo la dimora, che allora apparteneva alla famiglia De Cristoforis, fu acquistata dai coniugi Gian Giacomo Morando Bolognini e Lydia Caprara Morando Bolognini, che riempirono le sale con un’ampia collezione di arredi e dipinti. (dia 3) La Contessa Lydia, rimasta vedova nel 1919, morì senza eredi nel 1945 e nel testamento volle donare la sua residenza milanese, con tutto il contenuto, al Comune di Milano, che secondo l’uso dell’epoca smembrò le collezioni per unirle a quelle di altri edifici comunali. Nel 1958, dopo un lungo restauro dovuto agli ingenti danni subiti dall’edificio durante la II Guerra Mondiale, Palazzo Morando aprì le sue porte al pubblico col nome di “Museo di Milano”. Al piano nobile fu collocata la collezione Beretta (tuttora esposta), una ricca raccolta di dipinti e disegni dedicata all’iconografia urbanistica e architettonica di Milano, anch’essa divenuta di proprietà del Comune grazie a una donazione. Al pian terreno invece trovò sistemazione nel 1963 il Museo della Guerra e della Resistenza, poi denominato Museo di Storia Contemporanea.
