A house turns its back on the road to open up to the landscape
The single-family house project designed by Elena Gianesini engages in a dialogue with the Vicenza landscape, combining tranquility and contemporary style through essential geometries and the Mazzonetto metal roofing.
An international study conference dedicated to Zevi, his works and theories is to be held in Rome on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 March 2002. The event is organised by all the Departments of Architecture of the Università degli Studi “La Sapienza”, those invited to participate include Achille Bonito Oliva, Antonino Saggio, Franco Purini, Joseph Rykwert and Germano Celant.
The conference on Zevi is the first of a series of events dedicated to important figures in Italian architecture, such as Ludovico Quaroni and Luigi Piccinato: very different from each other but which have in common the fact that they all taught at the Rome academy, thereby contributing to its transformation and cultural growth.
