Associates Architecture – Ordinary Beauty: An Italian Scenario
By combining two seemingly antithetical values, Ordinary Beauty is an open investigation aimed at fostering a generation of architects who, on a daily basis, dismantle the wall separating the ordinary from beauty, construction from architecture. The research project features 61 architectural offices from across Italy, along with reflections from scholars and professionals in the field. It encapsulates a generation of designers who begin with people and life itself, reclaiming the ordinary and elevating it to a common practice of architectural quality – first imagining a new way of living and then designing the very spaces that will be used and inhabited by this new life.
208 pages, 24 x 32 cm, softcover, Caryatide (Paris).
