Leading figures in Italian Rationalism, heavily involved in designing things on different scales, Luigi Figini and Gino Pollini created a partnership, that lasted longer than any other, between the thirties and the 2nd world war.
Leading figures in Italian Rationalism, heavily involved in designing things on different scales (objects, buildings, cities and spaces), Luigi Figini (1903-84) and Gino Pollini (1903-91) created a partnership, that lasted longer than any other, between the thirties and the 2nd world war. The book examines the work produced by the Milanese architects in order to trace their contribution to the Milan School. Figini and Pollini’s constant search to define the relationship between architecture and environment, and nature and history, revealed a physical and symbolic link between nature and architecture and inaugurates a fertile period of study on landscapes, currently extremely fashionable.
