Piero Portaluppi
Author: Piccinini, Patrizia
ISBN: 9788891833099
Publisher: Rizzoli International
Year First Published: 2022
Pages: 224
Dimensions: 11.299 inches x 9.291 inches x 1.063 inches
Format: Hardback
Description:
After the recent work on Carlo Scarpa, this new volume is dedicated to Piero Portaluppi (1888-1967), a significant and recently rediscovered figure of Italian twentieth-century architecture. Long neglected by critics, his work has been revisited and rightly reappraised thanks to the opening of Villa Necchi in Milan to the public.
The book traces Portaluppi’s work through three design typologies: living spaces, the aesthetics of industrial structures and public places. Notable examples of the industrial spaces include the power plants that Portalupi lovingly constructed from 1910 to 1930, real architectural gems with an eclectic taste.
