When the Modern Was the Tradition: Carlo Mollino at Sestriere and His Last Unpublished project (1973)
No full textThe Alps have often been considered a laboratory for architectural modernity. Buildings there were a litmus test to reveal the attitudes of 20th-century architects towards design. When Carlo Mollino designed a project for a Club Med hotel in Sestriere in 1973, which was neither built nor published, he was at the end not only of his career but also of an important era for architecture that had begun just after World War II and ended in the economic crisis of the early 1970s. During this time, a debate on modern architecture acquired a new and increasingly important focus on context; Alpine architecture was at the forefront. The Club Med design was the culmination of Mollino’s series of reflections on modernism. In the 1950s, he conceived of buildings for a sophisticated public, and his final project was
a megastructure for mass tourism. The ski-resort town of Sestriere, founded by the Agnelli family in the early 1930s, was created for the consumption of nature by the masses, just as the Agnelli family produced Fiat cars for mass consumption. It was the first resort town where rationalism, speed, mass consumption, and the dominion of man over nature were the focus of urban and architectural design. Mollino’s Club Med design was for a hotel that would be a machine for tourist consumption in the mountains. This project was one of the last examples of a way of consuming the Alps that vanished in subsequent years
I Drassanes di Barcellona nelle fonti bibliografiche (1868-1935). Una riscrittura di significati tra oblio e riscoperta.The Drassanes of Barcelona in the bibliographic sources (1868-1935). A rewriting of meanings between oblivion and rediscovery
No full textQuesto contributo indaga i motivi della comparsa solo novecentesca dei cantieri navali barcellonesi, i Drassanes, negli studi sull’architettura catalana che invece si occupano di edifici analoghi per importanza e stile fin dalla metà del XIX secolo. Se ne ricercano i motivi scrutando i cambiamenti di proprietà dei Drassanes parallelamente alla discontinuità dei loro contenuti semantici e il ruolo giocato dalla narrazione storiografica nell’esternalizzazione di opposizioni identitarie. This contribution aims to investigate the reasons of the late appearance (1926-7) of the Barcelona shipyards in the regional historiographical production about Catalan architecture that had in buildings similar in importance and style the core of the XIXth architectural studies. The investigation of the reasons of this late appearance will be guided by the changes in the property in parallel to the discontinuity of their semantic contents and the role played by historiographical narration in the externalization of identity oppositions
