WARM CYCLE_24 - RENAISSANCE’D MOD

ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN ITALY: “THIS OPERATION HAD TO BE CULTURAL, MORAL, AS WELL AS INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC.”

WE’VE TAKEN THIS CYCLE’S DIVE OF DESIGN AS A NOD TO ITALIAN RATIONALISM, WHOSE PRACTITIONERS SET OUT TO CREATE LOGICAL BUILDINGS – ELEGANT IN AN UNDERSTATED WAY – THAT FOUND AN EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN GENUINE CLASSICISM AND THE COLD, ANTISEPTIC STYLE OF PURE MODERNISM.

SIMPLIFYING, STREAMLINING, FREEING WITH FUNCTION.
