The city is accepted as pure coexistence of objects without visual or formal relationships, released from architectural connections However, as of now, taking a look at the situation of the most advanced architecture, we can recognise how certain essential elements that have been highlighted by the various experts consulted by the authorMario Bellini, Lucius Burckhardt.
This new text by Gino Finizio on the theme of forms in movement can be considered as a versatile yet densely-packed compendium of all the most up-to-date hypotheses regarding the present and future of the relationship between static architecture and dynamic architecture today, which is in fact that of the car if considered in relation to the most advanced architecture of our times. Finizio has not only presented some of his most original ideas regarding the current state of architecture and design (and especially car design) in this volume, but he has also called upon some of the most committed architect-designers to report on their research. This is not only conceptual, but has also been conducted by the authors themselves at certain important research centres, professional studios and universities.
This is what Finizio says in this regard: Cities appear to be governed by chaos...The city is accepted as pure coexistence of objects without visual or formal relationships, released from architectural connections However, as of now, taking a look at the situation of the most advanced architecture, we can recognise how certain essential elements that have been highlighted by the various experts consulted by the authorMario Bellini, Lucius Burckhardt, Antonio Citterio, Riccardo Dalisi, Michele De Lucchi, Massimiliano Fuksas, Frank. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Isao Hosoe, Toshiyuki Kita,Rem Koolhaas, Alessandro Mendini, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Richard Sapper--actually differ considerably from each other.
