L'altra modernità: considerazioni sul futuro dell'architettura (Il pensiero dell'architettura Vol. 5)

by Rafael Moneo, C. Díez Medina (Editor), O.S. Pierini (Editor)

Maestro riconosciuto dell’architettura spagnola, docente ad Harvard, Madrid e Barcellona, Rafael Moneo è anche il professore operante che ha saputo edificare la sua teoria con la costruzione di grandi opere. [...] lo sguardo colto dell’architetto progettista permette di leggere l’attualità e di dare una risposta concreta ai temi che la complessità contemporanea presenta. [...] Pochi architetti hanno saputo vivere nel presente: molti si sono rifugiati in nostalgici passati o in fantasiosi futuri.
