Build Your Own Brutalist Italy After twenty years of fascist rule, post-war Italy became fertile ground for brutalist architecture. New, steeper concrete forms have reshaped Italian cityscapes with bold landmarks, from the iconic Torre Velasca in central Milan to the controversial Vele di Scampia residential complex on the outskirts of Naples. This fun and engaging book guides readers through these examples of Italian Brutalist architecture, informing curious explorers of their features, failures, and successes, with particular attention to public housing developments such as "
Lavatrici" in Genoa, Nuovo Corviale in Rome, Vele di Scampia in Naples, and Rozzol Melara in Trieste. The first half of Brutalia opens with a foreword by the Italian architect and writer Alessandro Benetti, it includes photographs of the buildings featured and details of their history. The second part contains five pre-cut and pre-folded templates to press and assemble. All you have to do is glue! Genoa - &
