Böcker av Antonio Citterio

High-rise hotels, offices and apartment buildings designed with communal, sustainable lifestyles in mindThis volume, which collects some of the Milan-based practice ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel's main projects between 2000 and 2020, is drawn from an exhibition of ACPV buildings photographed by Carlo Valsecchi (born 1965), held at the Palazzo Morando in Milan. Taken over 12 years of travel in Italy, Germany and Taiwan, the 126 photographs presented in the first section capture ACPV's projects: an exchange between the built environment, the landscape and the complexity of cities. The second part of the book is a collection of project histories from their concept and evolution to their completion, in the manner of an architectural "logbook." The book is enriched by contributions from art critic Francesco Bonami; former director of London's Design Museum, Deyan Sudjic; curator and essayist Francesco Zanot; and architect Valerio Paolo Mosco.

A comprehensive survey on a leading designer behind the Made-in-Italy success storyEdited by the former director of the London Design Museum, Deyan Sudjic, this multiauthored volume offers a detailed, broad account of more than 50 years of works by Italian architect and designer Antonio Citterio (born 1950) in the field of industrial design. Working for companies such as Ansorg, Arclinea, Axor-Hansgrohe, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hermès, Iittala, Kartell, Maxalto and Vitra, since the 1980s Citterio has been admired for his combination of elegant low-key modernity and painstaking attention to detail.This volume, the most extensive to date on Citterio, is richly illustrated with images of products and details as well as archival photographs--some personal, others that take us behind the scenes to glimpse the creation of products that have since become icons of contemporary design--and original sketches by the designer.
