This dissertation examines the intersection of the modern and the colonial in architecture and culture during the period of Italian colonization of North Africa from 1911 to 1943. Rather than see the colonies as merely a projection of the metropolitan context, this research reverses this relationship by examining how colonialism was crucial to the formation of modernity. The focus of this investigation has been the appropriation of indigenous Libyan constructions by Italian architects working in this region - an appropriation that was justified by the contention that this culture was Mediterranean. The incorporation of these vernacular buildings within a Mediterranean tradition was a means of designating their modernity. It was also a method for these architects to efface the Arab content of these sources by creating a broader geographical category whose identity was Italian. This general theme has been structured around three distinct but interrelated topics of investigation, with the objective being to create a more complex understanding of this phenomenon. These topics are; the discourse on modernity in Italian architecture in magazines and publications and its intersection with the prospects for a modern colonial architecture, the "politics of representation" of the indigenous culture of Italy's colonies in exhibitions and fairs in Italy and abroad, and the formation of a Mediterranean identity in the creation of a tourist system in the · Libyan colonies. This research has examined these themes against the broader cultural context of Italian colonialism; such as the "indigenous politics" of the Italian colonies, the exoticism of colonial literature, and the scientific practices of anthropological and ethnographic research. This project ultimately reveals two different approaches to the appropriation of local culture by architects working in the Libyan colonies - both of which are modern. The first of these viewed the vernacular as the abstract basis for a contemporary architecture, while the second argued that these references should be literally re-enacted to harmonize with the pre-existing environment. This dissertation asserts that the conflicts and confluences between these two modernities characterized both the architecture of colonialism and the larger "cultural" project of the Italians in Libya.

PRENCIPE, MONICA. "Building exchanges (1895-1953). International Exhibitions and Swedish resonances in Italian Modern Architecture." Doctoral thesis, Università Politecnica delle Marche, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11566/253126.
Full textThis work is part of a wider research on the relationship between Italy and the Nordic countries, headed by prof. Antonello Alici at the Università Politecnica delle Marche. The work is organized chronologically around the analysis of both Italian articles on Nordic countries and original archival materials, tracing back the mutual relationships with the Italian audience, focusing on artistic and architectural travels and exhibitions. In particular, the research focuses on the events related to the nation –Sweden– which first had the most relevant introduction into Italian Architecture since the first Venetian Biennale in 1895. The first chapter investigates the genesis of this relationship before the beginning of the First World War, thanks to the contribution of figures as Vittorio Pica and Ferdinand Boberg. The second chapter deals with the consequences occurred after the First World War, with the emigration of the futurist Arturo Ciacelli (1883-1966), the engraver Guido Balsamo Stella (1882-1941) and the travels of the architect Giuseppe Broglio (1874-1956). The third chapter concentrates on the two Fascist decades, focusing on the role of Institutions like the Triennale in Milan and the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome. Finally, the last chapter examines the Post-war period, when Italian admiration for Swedish design and architecture found interesting resonances both in the INA Casa plans as well as in some exhibition projects, in the work of Italian architects like Piero Bottoni (1903-1973), Piero Maria Lugli (1923-2008), Gio Ponti and Franco Albini (1905-1977). The research highlights how the new Institutions, on the heels of the ones founded in the previous decades, like the Swedish Institute (SI) and the Italian Institute of Culture in Stockholm (IIC) –both still active nowadays– had a fundamental role in the International propaganda. Finally, the thesis discusses how this complex combination of personal experiences, art and architectural magazines and official institutions formed the real background for an historian like Bruno Zevi, who was the first to insert three Nordic masters in his seminal pamphlet Verso un’architettura organica, and Leonardo Benevolo, who in 1960 recognized the role of ‘peripheral’ areas like Sweden and Finland, in his History of Modern Architecture.

Full textThe thesis explores the role of school architecture and his surrounding built environment as educational mediators through the innovation of educational spaces and the creation of cultural interactions between school, neighborhood and other educational organizations. The aim of the thesis is first to understand theoretical ideas linking pedagogy and learning with architectural, landscape and urban design, including reference to celebrated Italian examples from the 20th century. It develops a critical reading of scholastic architecture in different European contexts that use the physical space and their surrounding environment as a resource for learning. The research also purposes to use case studies from the UK’s vast investment in Building Schools for the Future to provide some guidance for the design and management of secondary schools in Italy for the 21st century.

Full textThe main objective of this thesis was a search for the influences which marked Sicilian architecture during the norman dynasty (1071-1195). Two mouvements stand out. The first, a territorial conquest, is rich in military works. The second, on the other hand, is linked to the creation of the monarchy in 1130. From that time on, the monumental activity concerned primarily the large towns and surrounding countryside. Architecture from this pertiod reflects a multicultural mix - Byzantine, Moslem, Jewish and Christian influences. An analysis of the buildings shows the evolution of the life style of the christian princes. Their taste for suburban residences surrounded by gardens corresponds to a traditional moslem architecture. Through examples from the near east and the Maghreb we have sought to distinguish the different architectural mouvements

Full textFollowing the fall of the Fascist regime, Italy enters a phase of rebuilding and reconstruction, also on an ideological and cultural level. In the field of architecture, this phenomenon triggers debates about the link to the tradition, the dialog between history and practice of the architectural project, and a renewed relationship between the buildings and the city. This environment and the First Venice Biennale are conducive to Post-modernism theories to develop themselves. This intellectual renewal of the discipline is here analyzed via a particular focus: Paolo Portoghesi's one. This architect holds throughout his carrier several major positions in the educational field, research field, press sector, book publishing and also as a practitioner.The thesis aims at highlighting the role Portoghesi played in the history of the second half of the twentieth century, through his texts and works, and the testimonies of his contemporaries. After examining his work as an architectural historian and a Roman Baroque specialist (Chapter One), the study shows how his researches are used in the architectural conception, making him a representative of the operative criticism (Chapter 2). Considering his action as a teacher, Editor in Chief and President of the architectural section of the Venice Biennale, enables to position him in the Roman School of Architecture (Chapter 3) and as one of the major characters of Post-Modernism in Europe (Chapter 4). His life's path illustrates the transition between willing to stick to the spirit of the time and the theory of the genius loci, firstly through contemporary city conception (Chapter 5), then with the concept of “geo-architecture”
