ACPV ARCHITECTS, founded by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel in 2000, is today one of Italy’s leading architecture firms. This volume explores the studio’s most significant projects around the world through the photographic lens of Carlo Valsecchi: from the Ermenegildo Zegna district in Milan to Brooktorkai 22 in Hamburg, from the road interchange bridge built for Expo Milano 2015 to Treasure Garden in Taiwan, from the Technogym Village in Cesena to Palazzo Aporti in Milan, from the Edel Headquarters in Hamburg to Symbiosis in Milan, all the way to the La Bella Vita complex in Taiwan. Each architectural project is examined in two parts. The first presents a series of sharp, essential portraits that reveal the form, presence, and expression of the buildings. The second retraces the sequence of events, circumstances, and conditions that led to their creation.

Design Behind Design book – Silvana Editoriale
€18.00[Author: Marco Romanelli, Carlo Capponi]
The implicit question in the title of the XXI Triennale, Design after design, poses the problem of “what is there after the project?”, that is, what voices resonate in each object beyond its function and form. One is therefore called upon to reason about meaning. The volume documents, among others, architectural projects by Gio Ponti, Figini and Pollini, Vico Magistretti and Mario Tedeschi, Giovanni Muzio, Ignazio Gardella, Luigi Caccia Dominioni; works by Lucio Fontana, Francesco Messina, Fausto Melotti, Emilio Greco, Mario Sironi, William Congdon, Adolfo Wildt, Roberto Sambonet and William Xerra; photographs by Giovanni Chiaramonte, Mario Cresci, Gabriele Basilico, Mario Carrieri and Francesco Radino. -

An exhibition that shows how Made in Italy was not born out of nothing in the 1970s, but had its roots in the artistic culture of Italy. -
Workwear (Abiti da Lavoro) book – Silvana Editoriale
€28.00[Author: Alessandro Guerriero]
This book, published to accompany an exhibition at Triennale in Milan, is an example of how a multidisciplinary approach can be used to examine and inform. Work clothes are transformed from uniforms and the symbols of a profession into the expression of an individual identity, but also into a form of cladding that is at times far removed from its original function.
