Synopsis
Two symbolic events mark the development of contemporary architecture in Piedmont I the 1902 Exhibition of Decorative Art, which saw the birth of Italian Liberty style, and the 2006 Winter Olympics, the best opportunity to rethink and re-launch Turin and its environs in the past 20 years. These and other major occurrences punctuated the 20th century, driving forces and moments of cultural exchange that extended to architects and traditions of various provenance. Divided by province and city, this guidebook allows rapid identification of places, architects, chronology and subjects, "aided" by thirteen theme essays (events, gardens, alpine architecture, wine/producing areas, restoration, relationships between architects, tradition and business) and a total of 732 entries. A study and visitor aid, the Guide to Piemonte Architecture ofthe 20th century is the first critical-historical examination ofthe contemporary architectural culture in Piedmont.

Guide to Piedmont Architecture Of the 20th Century
Seller: BWS BKS, Ferndale, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 408 pages; 616 illustrations, most in color. Description: "This guide documents significant 20th-century architecture in Piedmont in a chronological range (from the 1902 Exposition of Decorative Arts to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin) and provides the reader with a precise viewpoint for analysis: great events are seen as a stimulus and opportunity for confirmation for Turin and Piedmont and a moment for comparison with other architects and traditions. The guide provides an unusual and alternative description of the city, signalling public and private 'temporary living spaces', selected and interpreted according to criteria that at times favor a named interior design, at others a 'spontaneous' but stimulating furnishing arrangement, at others again episodes of artistic contamination. Not all the best-known places, therefore, but those that are less known, to bring to the eyes of tourists - but also to those of the city's inhabitants - who want to discover the more unusual aspects of a post-industrial metropolis." -- with a bonus offer--.
