This rare first edition of “New Directions in Italian Architecture” by the renowned Italian architect and theorist Vittorio Gregotti offers a fascinating glimpse into the avant-garde architectural movements of 1960s Italy. Published in 1968, at the height of the radical architectural experimentation that followed the postwar economic boom, this volume captures the spirit of innovation and bold reimagining that characterized the era. Gregotti, a leading figure in the “Neo-Avant-Garde” movement, presents a compelling vision for a new architectural language that embraces modernity while remaining rooted in Italian traditions. With its clean, well-preserved pages and sturdy binding, this copy invites readers to immerse themselves in Gregotti’s groundbreaking ideas and explore the influential currents that shaped Italian architecture in the latter half of the 20th century. A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of architectural history and theory.
