We are very grateful to the persons interviewed, and as the editors of this volume we would like to thank all those who for professional courtesy or friendship have contributed – in different ways and roles – to make the initial idea become a reality. In this sense, an initial thought turns to Fabrizio Schiaffonati and Antonio Scoccimarro. We would also like to thank the various counterparts who in the individual studios played a fundamental role, stimulating and establishing relationships with the protagonists of the Dialogues. In alphabetical order: Elisabetta Annovi and Andrea Leonardi of Studio Aldo Rossi; Antonella Bergamin of Gregotti Associati; Maria Canella and Luca Monica of Studio Canella; Ezi Cicerone and Marcello Lanzillotti, Studio Gardella; Tiziana Di Gioia, Studio Viganò; Rosanna Guella, Studio Albini-Helg-Piva; Katia Guglielmi, Studio Cortesi; the geometer Franco Montella, Studio Magistretti; Susanna Michellini, Studio Portoghesi; Cristina Molinari and Vittoria Spinelli, Studio BBPR. Thanks also to Matilde Baffa, Jacopo Gardella, Michael Graves, Paolo Zermani, for their contributions. Finally, thanks to Barbara Corradi and Roberto Venturini for their patient editorial work; to Ugo Iorio and Maria Paola Gambara; Nanda and Nadir, Donata and Stefano. And a special thought for Ferdinando, always a presence in our work. In the life span of 23 years the book Dialogues on architecture some of the protagonists of Italian modern architecture have passed away. Our thoughts turn to them, in particular, to express our gratitude for the works of architecture they have given to the community and to the Italian territory, and for the teachings they have transmitted to successive generations, indelible signs of continuity and indispensable tools for those approaching the architectural profession. We fondly remember Lodovico B. Belgiojoso (1909-2004), Roberto Gabetti (1925-2000), Ignazio Gardella (1905-1999), Enrico Mantero (1934-2001), Aldo Rossi (1931-1997), Vittoriano Viganò (1919-1996), Vico Magistretti (1920-2006), Guido Canella (1931-2009), to whom we will be forever grateful for the commitment, dedication and collaboration during the preparation of Dialogues on architecture, and for the friendship they offered us through their empathy and signals of approval regarding the results of the work. Perhaps it has been precisely the idea of summing up in a single volume the theoretical contributions of such a highly qualified group of master architects, brought together in the attempt to interpret their thinking regarding the role of architectural design in contemporary culture, that has become the qualitative factor leading to the success of this operation, prompting the publication of a new, updated edition that in any case keeps faith with the first version, dating back to 1995, and the second edition in 2004. The same reasons, combined with the force and depth of the debate conducted by “active criticism” regarding Italian postwar architecture and its main protagonists, like behind the publication, two years after the book’s release, of the volume in Portuguese edited by Emilio Faroldi, Maria Pilar Vettori, Dialogos de Arquitetura, Editora Siciliano, São Paulo 1997, with an introduction by Oscar Niemeyer. The work was presented at the Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo on 9 April 1997 within the seminar “As relações Brasil-Italiana Globalizaçao da Arquitetura” organized by the Italian Cultural Institute in São Paulo, Brazil. The third edition is based on the spirit of not interfering with the temporal location of the individual contributions, encouraging diachronic reading: a spirit that translates into the attempt to leave intact the logical and methodological structure of the work, implemented by an introductory text that sets out to translate and emphasize the contemporary character and intact timeliness of the theoretical message contained in the essays, flanked by bibliographic research that in line with this assumption is kept separate, for taxonomic clarity, and not integrated with the original version. In this regard, we thank Lorenza Campodonico for the collaboration on the finding of the texts and the principle publications on these topics, in the period from 1995 to 2004. For this third edition, thanks to Giulia Faruffini and Erika Siverio for their help in the preparation of the material, and to Cecilia Rostagni for her work on the capillary implementation of the bibliography, covering

Era il gennaio del ’63 quando un gruppo di studen- ti della facoltà di architettura avanzarono delle richieste di riorganizzazione dei corsi. Non furono ascoltati. A febbraio iniziò lo sciopero. Erano ragazzi, chiedevano di uscire dai lacci soffocanti dell’ac- cademia, di non seguire più i dettami reazionari di chi ancora costruiva come se la guerra non avesse mai avuto luogo, come se il boom economico non fosse esploso. A Milano solo Ernesto Nathan Rogers riusciva ad emozionarli. Certamente non Cassi Ramelli e la sua neorinascimentale sede della SNIA Vi- scosa in corso di Porta Nuova. Si chiamavano Cortese, Farè, Stevan, c’era quel ragazzo di Genova, che di giorno studiava e poi veniva a lavorare nel tuo studio, c’era tuo figlio Marco... Era la meglio gioventù di quegli anni. Volevano vivere il loro tempo, sentire le voci di chi l’architettura la faceva per davvero. Volevano te, Franco. Tu che studiasti al Politecnico negli stessi anni di Terragni, che girasti per l’Europa per conoscere Mies van der Rohe o Le Corbusier, che a Casabella legasti con Edoardo Persico, che con Giuseppe Pagano e Ignazio Gardella immaginaste il piano urbanistico per una “Milano Verde” cercando l’ordine razionale contro il disordine delle città storiche. Eravate giovani e integralisti, volevate dare ai nuovi cittadini inur- bati case essenziali, salubri, dignitose, volevate donare alla città il volto del secolo che stavate vivendo. Eri di Robbiate, venivi dalla Brianza, Franco. Tuo padre Baldassare era un ingegnere che aveva investito nel baco da seta prima che la crisi del ’29 spazzasse via tutto.

  • Main Architectural Works of Franco Albini 1931 - 1945 Work Description Period
    Main architectural works of Franco Albini 1931 - 1945 Work Description Period Steel frame house, V Triennial of Milan s(with Renato Camus, Giulio Albini's first experience working under Pagano's direction occurred in 1933 while collaborating with 1933 Minoletti, Giuseppe Mazzoleni, Giuseppe Pagano, Giancarlo Palanti) Pagano's group (Renato Camus, Giulio Minoletti, Giuseppe Mazzoleni, and Giancarlo Palanti) on the design of the Steel Frame House erected in Parco Sempione during the V Trien¬nale. Formally , the uninspired design of the Steel Frame House was probably due to Pagano's overriding preoccupation with the practical application of standardized building materials. The repetitive nature of the structural bays and Windows of the Steel Frame House were symbols of economically correct, serially produced, industriai standards. For the VI Triennale in 1936 Albini and his partners, Renato Camus and Giancarlo Palanti, collaborated with Paolo Clausetti, Ig¬nazio Gar della, Giovanni Mazzoleni, Giulio Minoletti, Gabriele Mucchi, and Giovanni Romano on the design for the Exhibit on Hous-ing, installed in the new pavilion designed by Pagano in Parco Sempione. Consistent with Pagano's interpretation of functionalism, the group designed both built-in furnishings and individuai pieces constructed with ordinary materials capable of being produced in quan-tity. The intention of Pagano and Albini's group was to convince the public that mass- produced objects could be designed with care, economy, and quality.

Allora le case, gli edifici pubblici, la forchetta, il ferro da stiro testimonieranno della unità d’intendimenti di un popolo, di affermare senza equivoco la propria realtà e la fiducia nella validità del proprio tempo: ogni oggetto troverà la sua forma nella collaborazione di una collettività, dove le qualità native diversissime di ciascuno potranno essere pienamente valorizzate e potenziate. Io non sono dunque libero dalle malìe della forma. Se ho insistito sul fattore eco- nomico è perché sono convinto che l’architettura non è nella varietà dei temi ma nella organizzazione di un’opera architettonica... Non credo tanto nella «im- maginazione» quanto invece nella «fantasia», che non sconfina mai nell’arbitrio, ma si vale appunto dei mezzi usuali e li dosa così, da ottenere variazioni infinite su pochi temi che esigenze economiche, sociali, tecniche hanno generalizzato.” Giovanni Michelucci [Giovanni Michelucci, Felicità dell’architetto, Firenze, Editrice Il Libro, 1949, pp.

  • 838 VELIERO Family ALBINI Catalogue I Maestri Year of Design 1940 Year of Production 2011 / 2019
    838 VELIERO Family ALBINI Catalogue I Maestri Year of design 1940 Year of production 2011 / 2019 Defying the laws of physics, going beyond what we normally understand by the conditions of equilibrium, this bookcase is nothing short of a manifesto for Cassina’s design and construction capabilities. After a lengthy period of research and development, ably assisted by state-of-the-art technology, the company’s designers created a production prototype of the original 1940 piece that architect Franco Albini made as a one-off for his Milan home. Respecting the authentic underlying concept of the design, with its compelling experimental feel, as well as its surprisingly spare, linear looks, today’s model preserves the minimal ideal of the original: a feeling of air and light so that the books and objets seem to float free. Thus does Cassina restore to the contemporary world of design one of its most emblematic artefacts, a piece that has acquired the status of a work of art, as magical now as it was when it was first seen. It is now also available in an exclusive limited edition in ashwood stained black with stainless steel metallic caps and elements. Gallery Dimensions Designer He was a major figure in the Rationalist Movement, excelling in architectural, furniture, industrial and museum design. After receiving a degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1929, he worked with the Ponti and Lancia design studios. His work for the magazine Casabella also played a key part in his development, marking his conversion to the Rationalist Movement and his becoming its spokesman on the Italian cultural scene.

  • From Architecture to Design and Back
    Res Mobilis Revista internacional de investigación en mobiliario y objetos decorativos Vol. 9, nº. 10, 2020 FROM ARCHITECTURE TO DESIGN AND BACK: THE ARCHITECTURAL ROOTS OF THE ITALIAN DESIGN SYSTEM, 1920-1980 DE LA ARQUITECTURA AL DISEÑO IDA Y VUELTA: LAS RAÍCES ARQUITECTÓNICAS DEL SISTEMA DE DISEÑO ITALIANO, 1920-1980 Elena Dellapiana* Politecnico di Torino Fiorella Bulegato Università IUAV di Venezia Abstract The histories of Italian design and architecture may be more readily understood if one considers that many of the protagonists are architect-designers. Identifying the root of this convergence in an academic and professional educational system based on the idea of the "complete architect", trained to work at any scale of design, this paper frames the work of the architect-designers within the cultural, economic and manufacturing context of the period between the 1920s and 1980s, when for historical reasons their role became particularly significant. Furthermore, many design historians in Italy are the product of the same education as the architects, and having followed the same course of studies as the architectural historians, they acquired the same techniques of investigation and interpretation, which they later refined in their own fields. The theme is thus explored from the perspectives of the two authors, both architects but with specific training one as an architectural historian, and the other as a design historian. The relationship between the two research directions – the theoretical debate and its narrations, the relationship between designers and manufacturers – makes it possible to clarify some of the aspects that distinguish the history of Italian design culture compared to that of other Western nations.
