More DescriptionA comprehensive survey of the most recent projects in architecture, urban design, and graphic design of Vittorio Gregotti and his design firm Gregotti & Associates.
This volume, thoroughly illustrated with drawings and photographs, profiles a selection of works and projects developed between 2008 and 2013 by Vittorio Gregotti, one of the world's leading architects and designers, and his studio. The projects are grouped into three main geographical areas-- North Africa, China, and Europe--and are analyzed and described in detail as part of an overarching concept of landscape and urban architecture. Plans for new cities in Algeria, Egypt, and China are described in depth, as well as projects for large-scale public works. Included is a catalogue summarizing the firm's entire output over a span of 60 years.
Vittorio Gregotti is a leading Italian architect and founder of the Gregotti Associati studio. His studio has designed several important buildings, such as the Barcelona Olympic Stadium, the Belèm Cultural Center in Lisbon, the Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan, and several university campuses, including that of the University of Calabria. His studio also designed Pujiang New Town in Shanghai, China, a new urban district designed with an Italian architectural theme.
