Away from the mainstream of Italian architecture of their time, Turin architects Sergio Jaretti and Elio Luzi unfold a multi-layered work of extraordinary wealth over the period of only two decades. It opposes the razionalismo of Italian modernism and the mass housing of the postwar period an organic formal language of serene poetry. From 1954 to 1974, the two architects realized numerous residential buildings, which always articulate interest in spatially plastic facades and deep, diagonally staggered floor plans. With their complex formal references, they point far beyond the time of their creation and are as surprising and up-to-date today as they were then.
For the first time, a monograph presents the complete work of the architects barely published so far. Based on floor plans, original plans, photographic documentation and texts, twelve apartment buildings as well as the private houses of the two architects are presented. IN DUITS!
