{"product_id":"piero-portaluppi","title":"Piero Portaluppi","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn exhaustive monograph on the eminent architect, emblematic of Milanese, and also Italian, 20th-century architectural and figurative culture.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Celebrated in the 1930s, controversial and forgotten during the postwar period, and finally rediscovered today, Piero Portaluppi was an undisputed protagonist of 20th-century Italian architecture. An eclectic protagonist who steered clear of specific styles and schools, a master of hydroelectric architecture, and a great town planner whose projects changed the face of Milan.  Produced in collaboration with the Fondazione Piero Portaluppi, this new exhaustive monograph comprises a large photo album with new colour images of Portaluppi's architectural projects and interiors, taken by the well-known photographer Ciro Frank Schiappa; three previously unpublished essays, illustrated with vintage photos by Antonio Paoletti; views and models of Portaluppi's projects; items documenting his personal interests (cartoons, diagrams, sundials, postcards, newspaper cuttings).   The volume also features an interview with Portaluppi's nephew, architect Piero Castellini, by the famous film director Luca Guadagnino; an unpublished essay by architect Paolo Portoghesi;  a biography of Piero Portaluppi by Jacopo Ghilardotti; a list of works and a bibliography compiled by Ferruccio Lupi, conservator at Fondazione Piero  Portaluppi.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664492466212,"sku":"9788857247465","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857247465.jpg?v=1777493206","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/piero-portaluppi","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
