Romano Del Nord. Teoria e prassi del progetto di architettura

Abstract

Romano Del Nord has been a point of reference for Architectural Technology and a protagonist in academic research and the realization of building programs. Meditating on his work brings out the relationship between research, cultural and social commitment and realization skills that distinguished his mindset and his way of acting. The book offers a reasoned rereading of his writings, drawn from books, articles and conferences, chronologically ordered and grouped around some areas most performed by Del Nord: the building process, the places for education, the spaces for health care. A rereading tracing the years when the discipline of architectural design for the community established itself, scientifically founded and attentive to resources and contexts. His words testify to the vision which accompanied his commitment, in the years between the 20th and 21st centuries, on the relationship between research and design, training and society, innovation and building processes, strategies and policies.

Ed è proprio in questo senso che il restauro delle opere di Le Corbusier è l'occasione anche di riportare 1 Un libro del 2006 avvia una riflessione sulla ricezione dell'architettura moderna Andrieux J.-Y. et al 2005.…”

“…However, it should be noted that the change to the initial plot and the reduction of the land occurred throughout the 1950s. The construction of the school and, a short distance away, working-class architecture, had already profoundly altered the site where the villa was built 1 .…”

“…Restoration in France was still linked to a conception of historical heritage that had no place for modernity. 1 In particular, see the reports of the meetings from May 1966, CAAC, J. In the case of Villa Savoye, on the other hand, the restoration had become increasingly archaeological, with a focus on presumed originality which involved not only the image but also the substance of the work.…”
