A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
10.1002/ad.447.abs
For the last three decades, Italian architecture has been characterised by an extreme polarisation. At one end of the spectrum have been the neo‐conservators, who are subsumed by Italy's history, and at the other end the avant‐garde for whom innovation is the Holy Grail and the present is a clean slate. Francesco Proto outlines the current potential for steering a middle course that will afford a greater eclecticism, enabling a natural balance between pragmatism and theory.
