Marco Zanuso and Milan

120 pages, English text

Soon after the centenary of his birth (2016), Zanuso’s work looks like a complex, multi-faceted dihedron. His legacy, which has often been seen as the closest representation of an idea of modernization that is mainly interpreted in the most innovative aspects of the industry can today boast a further element: the ability to reconcile different ways of building, or in other words
to mediate at times between technology, as an aspect of production, and artisan skill, as an anachronistic transition and technical recollection. This is a new viewpoint that is growing in interest, particularly in this century when much has changed compared to the general framework in which he was working.
