Abitare Annual 15

Annual 15 stops in seven cities and explores them with long or short stays that permit a lively overview through different approaches: a home or a church, a restaurant or a poem, a bar for teamsters or the studio of a famous architect and so on. A very sui generis guide, erudite and vivacious, full of images and stories. Very interesting and creative look at projects not found in other annuals. Examples include: Place-objects by artist and stage designer Marcello Chiarenza; The largest object that prisoners have ever been allowed to build in the tiny carpentry shop of San Vittore prison in Milan; Project 222, project Future Systems, a house in the rugged setting of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, totally immersed in its site with a glass wall overlooking the coastline; many more thought provoking and inspiring international projects. English and Italian languages.
