The Terragni Atlas: Built Architecture

by Attilio Terragni, Daniel Libeskind, Paolo Rosselli (Photographer)

A pioneer of modernist architecture, Giuseppe Terragni (1904-1943) produced some of Italy's most significant 20th century buildings. Celebrating the centenary of Terragni's birth, Atlas presents a visual record of this influential architect whose work is experiencing renewed international interest.

In a short and intense career, Terragni created a small but remarkable group of designs that form the nucleus of the Italian Rationalist school of architecture. Atlas presents the architecture of Terragni through a juxtaposition of archival images and contemporary photographs by Paolo Rosselli.

Daniel Libeskind's authoritative and original essay and Rosselli's outstanding photography attest to the importance of Terragni's work and his continued influence on modern architecture.

[Pablo Marqués · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesante y completo acercamiento a la obra del arquitecto italiano, destacando su modernidad y vigencia a la perfección. Por poner peros, primero la excesiva tibieza con el fascismo, decir «polémico» es un eufemismo casi ofensivo. La segunda que la estructura general acaba no siendo tan clara como promete la introducción y los textos finalmente quedan deslabazados y poco «cosidos» entre sí.
