Books by Luca Montuori
Anello verde is a project for Rome. It approaches the theme of the capital's current role, spaces and functions. This volume illustrates the context in which the project was born by discussing its strategies and choices starting from the permanence of several themes and figures in the modern history of Rome. It is not a theoretical text, although it moves from a theoretical context that looks at the transformation of the constituent principles of the urban structure that determine the unstable form of the city. Likewise, it does not deal directly with the configuration of the city's spaces and settlement structures, but in defining the invariant rules, the non-negotiable elements of possible modifications, it investigates the devices, principles and possible spaces of urban design. Anello verde questions the methods and conditions of transformations, the need to re-align policies and projects, the possibility of holding together concrete landscapes and abstract standards, resources and objectives of the current city. It is a reflection on the city starting from a concrete part of the city.
In Western societies, the main social structures are undergoing profound changes such as an increase in the number of single-parent families, an ageing population, temporary work conditions free of any physical place of work, migratory flows of vulnerable individuals, increasing life expectancy and low birth rate. Such changes are the result of a process of adaptation of societies to changes imposed by new economic- production conditions, by the fast pace of change regarding available technologies and by the sustainability paradigm which strives, in all ambits, towards a balance between environment, society and the economy. Among the different challenges to be taken up is that relating to widespread housing deprivation, recently worsened by the effects of the economic crisis. Recent statistics (Eurostat, 2012) show that 17.2% of the population of the European Union live in overcrowded housing and this figure rises to 30% in the case of poorer families; 5.7% of the European population suffer from serious housing deprivation and in 8 member states out of 28, this problem affects more than one person in ten.

La idea del Anillo Verde retoma algunos temas y figuras históricas del debate del papel de la capital de Italia de principios del siglo XX. El proyecto se desarrolla en un área de más de 7 km cuadrados, comprende y conecta espacios entre el corredor ferroviario y áreas nunca edificadas donde debía desarrollarse el Sistema Direzionale Orientale de Roma. El proyecto realiza una nueva lectura de estos lugares a la luz de las transformaciones efectuadas a lo largo del tiempo, las necesidades y las vocaciones contemporáneas. El texto expone las metodologías empleadas para: mapear los espacios que se sitúan en el interior del ámbito, identificando sus potencialidades, cualidades y usos actuales; precisar las opciones estratégicas para redefinir los objetivos de desarrollo y las funciones de la ciudad; seleccionar los proyectos que concurran a la ejecución del ámbito estratégico general.
Big! Bad? Modern: reflects this diversity: Arranged by keywords derived from the featured projects, it provides easy access to the rich and comprehensive collection of materials and manifold positions, and opens up new perspectives. Essays by renowned authors such as Hermann Czech, Françoise Fromont, Harry Glück, Sabine Kraft and Michael Zinganel and a preface by Nasrine Seraji round out the book.
This new edition presents the Precisions lectures to a new audience. During the lectures, Le Corbusier punctuated his points with a series of improvised crayon-on-paper drawings. This is the first edition to reproduce all forty drawings in color. The book also includes Le Corbusier’s introduction, appended in the 1960s, which describes the tremendous impact the city of Buenos Aires had on the architect—its beauty and vast potential, as well as the considerable challenges presented by this city “trembling on the verge of great works.” A new additional essay by Tim Benton places the lectures in context with the larger body of Le Corbusier’s work. Finally, an appendix has been added with brief descriptions of key figures and events discussed.
Now available in paperback, this unique book features these iconic images and film stills, alongside essays by Swiss scholars Stanislaus von Moos and Martino Stierli that explore how the pictures contemplate the phenomenon of the modern city. Also included is a discussion by curator and critic Hans Ulrich Obrist with Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and Swiss artist Peter Fischli that speaks to the strong and lasting influence these images still have on contemporary art and movies.
A unique opportunity to experience the full intent and import of the Learning from Las Vegas project, Las Vegas Studio continues to appeal to architects, architectural historians, and scholars alike.
Three main objectives: the transfer of cross-disciplinary knowledge (human and social sciences, and science) and culture; the transfer of learning approaches (Professional and Research Masters); and the transfer of skills in working groups, mixing students, young researchers and external professionals.
Il sito del Corso "Il progetto dello Spazio Urbano" che per circa 6 anni ha indagato i temi del progetto urbano con ricerche, progetti e discussioni.
The website of our research Unit about dwelling spaces.
Please write us if you are interested in sharing knowledge about the themes.
We organize workshops, discussions, presentations.
OPEN offre gli strumenti teorici e applicativi necessari per:
- conoscere, comprendere e interpretare i caratteri fisico-spaziali, naturali e antropici, del paesaggio e della struttura urbana, in rapporto al contesto storico e territoriale;
- avere padronanza degli strumenti storici, critici e tecnici necessari per affrontare correttamente la disciplina dell’Architettura del Paesaggio;
- progettare spazi aperti adeguati alla complessità dell’immaginario contemporaneo - rispetto agli usi e alla figuratività degli spazi - e alle esigenze di tutela e qualificazione dei valori storici e ambientali;
- progettare giardini pubblici e privati, dedicando particolare attenzione al tema della stratificazione storica dei paesaggi e delle aree archeologiche come palinsesto su cui si depositano tracce e segni.
OPEN è articolato in tre parti che si intrecciano fra loro: le prime due - OPEN Lessons e OPEN Talks - hanno carattere teorico-critico; OPEN Workshop, ha invece natura applicativa.
Il Corso si articola in due moduli: Il primo modulo (marzo-settembre 2016) è dedicato agli insegnamenti in presenza. Il secondo modulo (settembre-novembre 2016) è dedicato alla preparazione della tesi finale.
È possibile iscriversi a singoli insegnamenti, seminari e workshop, ricevendo un “Attestato di Frequenza” relativo alle discipline e ai crediti formativi maturati
La tassa d’iscrizione all’intero Corso di Master è stabilita in Euro 3.500,00
