History of architecture

Series: Everything Without Content

This book is part of the 'Everything without Content' series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis, and it presents the work Giancarlo de Carlo built in Urbino in the 1960s and 70s, in the shadow of his involvement in Team 10 debates that challenged modernist doctrines on architecture and urbanism.

Giancarlo de Carlo first visited Urbino in 1951 to carry out a minor refurbishment of the offices of the rector of the University. This was the beginning of his lifetime engagement with the small town where he continued working over the next five decades. The eight buildings in this book are presented in drawings by students of the Academy of Architecture USI, Mendriso, and photographs by Stefano Graziani.

Reviews for Giancarlo de Carlo: Experiments in Thickness

"More than a documentation of buildings decades after their realization, the studio approached them as a ""testbed for considering the aftermath of modernism."" Given this approach, the empty and almost melancholy photos by Graziani are more than appropriate.--John Hill ""A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books"""
