Just Published - Luigi Moretti Le Ville disegni e modelli
October 15th, 2009 — Luigi Moretti Le Ville disegni e modelli presents an unexplored area of Italian architect Luigi Moretti’s career, that of the single family villa. Building upon recent exhibits celebrating the life and work of the late architect, the schools of architecture of the University of Miami in Florida and of Ascoli–Piceno in Italy led by Professors Carmen Guerrero, Salvatore Santuccio and Nicolo Sardo expose twenty five projects built over a forty year span throughout Italy, North Africa, Kuwait and Cuba. The role of the architect in Italian contemporary society emerges as a consistent theme in the villas as they were often designed for a high profile clientele. Each project is presented through student model and drawing reconstructions of Moretti’s original sketches and partially complete documents. The book is in both English and Italian.
