Valerio Paolo Mosco. Perché ora l'architettura italiana e altri scritti

In this volume there are different themes dealing with. The first is a consideration about contemporary italian architecture; it comes from a conference where I repeated the concept that architecture itself could have unespected prospects, not having fallen in deconstructivism, in putting at the same level the architectonic object and the design object, and in minimalist emphasis, having these tendences declined. Other writings concern Giuseppe Terragni and reaffirm the topicality of his works. Other themes still are utopia, kitsch, conventionality, themes that I think it is necessary to deal with, so that intuition, as Benedetto Croce affirmed, could elevate to expression, operation that makes clear the role and duties of the critics.
