"After a long period of neglect, a restoration work completed in 2010 brought the
three artist houses on the Comacina Island back to the function for which they
were born: to host artists in a ...charming location, surrounded by nature and silence.
In 1917 the island came into possession of the King of Belgium, and then of the Italian
State. The houses designed by Pietro Lingeri were built after the failure of more
ambitious plans for the creation of an artists’ colony. Born in Bolvedro di Tremezzo,
Lingeri graduated from the Academy of Brera, the institution entrusted with the
management of the island. Commissioned in the first months of 1933, his original
designs for a hotel and seven houses for Italian artists and four for Belgian artists
were rejected. Therefore, he conceived three simple small villas combining local
materials and traditional construction techniques with a modern vocabulary. The
article traces the history of the houses, completed at the end of 1940 by one of the
most important architects of Italian Rationalism."
L'oggetto del saggio è costituito dalle note sull'architettura dei "Quaderni del carcere" di Antonio Gramsci. Di queste note si propone uno studio filologico e testuale, al fine di individuarne le ...possibili fonti e gli impliciti riferimenti, e un'interpretazione di carattere piú generale, allo scopo di definirne la collocazione nel quadro della filosofia della "praxis". Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto filologico- testuale, si argomenta che i testi gramsciani sull'architettura razionale sono stati redatti entro il febbraio 1933, e che tale retrodatazione suggerisce di rivedere la cronologia del "Quaderno 14" originariamente proposta da Gerratana. Per quanto concerne invece l'aspetto interpretativo generale, si sostiene che, nelle note sull'architettura, Gramsci tenti di dare una soluzione non crociana, basata sulla "traducibilità dei linguaggi", al problema dell'unità e della differenza tra arte e politica, tra estetica e pratica.

L’Esprit Nouveau, the journal that Le Corbusier and Amédée Ozenfant edited together, welcomed the rise of the modern stadium: ‘The crowds, after centuries of indifference, are returning to the ...sporting arenas. They demand stadiums. The “Pershing” stadium is too small but it is a beautiful block of reinforced concrete which pleases modern eyes.’¹ This comment’s marriage of the mass sporting crowd to modern architecture anticipates Bertolt Brecht’s address to ‘the sporting public … in those huge concrete pans’. It may well be that this was written by Ozenfant, given Le Corbusier’s dismissive remarks that ‘exhibition sport’ had nothing to do
In 1926, one year before he took up his post of Master of Architecture at the Bauhaus and two years before he succeeded Walter Gropius as its director, Hannes Meyer wrote an essay, ‘The New World’, ...for the Swiss Werkbund magazine Das Werk.¹ In it, Meyer aligns sport with a series of modern developments that constitute the ‘New World’ of his title. Motor cars and aeroplanes abolish distance as well as the separation between town and country and between nations. Swimming pools introduce hygiene. Tractors and cultivators revolutionise agriculture. Developments in radio and sound technologies make us part of a
Tijekom talijanske okupacije otoka Lastova, u uvali Uble je uz 1931. godine osnovanu tvornicu sardina, između 1933. i 1936. godine izgrađeno planirano industrijsko naselje prvotno nazvano San Pietro, ...a potom Luigi Razza. Od pravilnoga četverokutnog trga s novom crkvom i javnim zgradama oblikovanim u duhu talijanskoga racionalizma i novocenta, protežu se dvije ulice s jednokatnim tipskim stambenim kućama, svaka s vlastitim vrtom. Tehničke je projekte potpisao zadarski inženjer Ettore Vacchi, no nije sigurno da je on i autor idejnoga rješenja naselja, odnosno zgrada. Uble su realizirane u sklopu Mussolinijeva projekta urbanizacije provincija kao prvi naš primjer maloga ‘industrijskoga grada’ koji je prethodio Raši i Podlabinu.
