�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Organized chronologically, this volume analyzes the dynamics, convergences, and ideological clashes that have given life to the most significant movements of the twentieth century and today to the season of recent phantasmagoric buildings of the so-called Star System. Illuminating and insightful, the volume is a much needed guide for students, educators, or anyone interested in architecture. Written as if it were a novel, in clear and compelling way, The History of Architecture from 1900 until Today examines the main buildings that were designed in more than 120 years of history, those famous and appreciated unanimously by critics, and those that, although of great value, were neglected for ideological reasons. Read in its contradictions, architecture becomes a fresco that tells us about our complicated history, our multiple tensions, our filled and unfulfilled desires.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, born 1956 in Sicily, studied Architecture and subsequently special�ised in Urban Planning. He taught History of Contemporary Archi�tecture at the Sapienza University of Rome, and now teaches History of Contemporary Design at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA). He is the president of the Italian Association of Architecture and Criticism. He writes for numerous magazines, including �Domus, Monument, and the Architects Newspaper, and has guest edited two issues of Architectural Design (AD) dedi�cated to Italian architecture. His books have anti�cipated the debate on key themes and �figures in contemporary architecture. Among them is Rem �Koolhaas: Metropolitan Transparency (1997), which �introduced the Dutch architect to Italy. In �Hyper�Archi�tec�ture: Spaces in the Electronic Age (1998) he raised the question of the relationship between architecture and digital technologies.
