Public praise from Columbia University professor emeritus Kenneth Frampton on my book "LUIGI MORETTI, Lessons of SPAZIO, Routledge"

Activity: Other

Description

“LUIGI MORETTI: Lessons of SPAZIO is a great achievement and an impactful and important study of Luigi Moretti’s theoretical work. The author has not only translated into the textual content of the magazine SPAZIO but also written a detailed analytical study of the discourse of a highly cultivated Italian intellectual. The text is compelling me to reconsider the role played by the Italian Renaissance, not only with regard to Italy but also with regard to the modernisation of the entire world. As suggested by my book Studies in Tectonic Culture, my impulse has been to attempt to ground the relative autonomy of architecture in the poetics of construction rather than in Form, which surely puts me at odds with Eisenman. This work on Moretti compels me to rethink all this and this surely will take some time. However, Roberto has effectively set me off!”

Kenneth Frampton, Emeritus Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University, New York.
