    Built in just seven months, between February and August 1969, the Olivetti plant in Crema represents one of the three occasions for the application of the prefabricated reinforced concrete construction system designed by Marco Zanuso and Eduardo Vittoria in 1967 for the construction of the Italian factories of the company. The system, defined in collaboration with the engineer Antonio Migliasso, is in continuity with the previous projects for industrial buildings drawn up by Zanuso during the fifties, aimed at the integration of structures and plant equipment, but differs from the latter for the unprecedented comparison of the same design principles with prefabrication. The result is characterized first by the standardization of the three prefabricated structural components (a column, a main beam and a secondary beam) and by the definition of their design starting not only from the needs of the structure in place, but also from its construction through a prefabrication process capable of optimizing materials, energy, time, and labor. A real industrial design project applied to the spaces of that production which Marco Zanuso interpreted in structure and shape

    Protagonisti della scena architettonica torinese del secondo Novecento, i fratelli Giorgio e Giuseppe Raineri, architetto e ingegnere, hanno sperimentato, fra gli anni cinquanta e sessanta, ardite soluzioni strutturali per la realizzazione di coperture in calcestruzzo armato. Il loro progetto per lo stabilimento poligrafico Roggero e Tortia a Beinasco (TO), realizzato nel 1966, rappresenta un caso studio rilevante all’interno della loro ricerca. Qui, infatti, il sistema di copertura a volta laterocementizia con timpani irrigidenti, già sperimentato in precedenti realizzazioni, viene applicato ad una copertura a shed per rispondere alle peculiari esigenze della produzione tipografica in termini di illuminazione naturale. Attingendo all’archivio G. G. Raineri di Torino, al fondo Giuseppe Raineri presso l’Archivio di Stato di Torino - Sezioni Riunite e alla documentazione conservata presso la PRT di Beinasco, la ricerca illustra la soluzione strutturale adottata e contestualizza il progetto attraverso confronti con contemporanei edifici industriali torinesi

    Un'architettura autre: l’allestimento per la mostra Moda Stile Costume a Italia ’61

    Organized as part of the international exhibition Italia ’61 with the aim of offering the public a reflection on the evolution of Italian society over the preceding sixty years, the exhibition Moda Stile Costume was distinguished by an evocative setting designed by architects Roberto Gabetti, Aimaro Isola, Giorgio Raineri and Augusto Cavallari Murat, in collaboration with the sculptor Franco Garelli. The design proposal featured a free composition of veils, in dialogue both with the concrete shell-roof of the palazzo delle Mostre and with the environmental installations conceived by Franco Garelli. This approach allowed the architects to address the vast interior space of the building while capturing the playful and ironic spirit of the exhibition and its contents. A nuanced interpretation of the alternating souls of post-war Turin – where the scientific rigor of industrial expansion coexisted with the whimsical impulses of its peculiar intellectual milieu – the exhibition represents the result of a collaborative effort that involved architects, intellectuals, artists, and entrepreneurs. In doing so, it offered a cross-section of Turin’s cultural life during the Italian economic miracle
