Résumé

Cet opus couvre la période 1940-1949. Contrairement à l'Allemagne nazie, l'Italie fasciste a vu se développer le modernisme dans les domaines de l'architecture et du design, ce dont témoignent de façon impressionnante les bâtiments et designs de Carlo Mollino, Gian Luigi Banfi, Franco Albini et Giuseppe Terragni présentés dans ce volume. Après la guerre, le design organique fait son apparition à côté du style international. L'avant-garde continue à s'épanouir en Italie, en Suisse, en Scandinavie comme aux Etats-Unis

1940-1949: Destruction and Reconstruction. This volume covers the 1940s, when fascism came to a climax and World War II led to the extensive destruction of Europe. But the second half of this decade was also a time of reconstruction, democratization, and the related search for new social values. Unlike in Nazi Germany, in fascist Italy Modernism was able to advance in architecture and design - as proved impressively by the buildings and designs by Carlo Mollino, Gian Luigi Banfi, Franco Albini, and Giuseppe Terragni that are documented herein. After the war, Organic Design emerged alongside the International style. This edition reflects upon the economic, social, and cultural problems of the time, but also shows how the force of the avant-garde continued to thrive in Italy, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the USA. Reports and features on modern industrial design and furniture, as well as domestic and business interiors stand side by side with articles about novel prefabricated houses.
