Giancarlo de Carlo: Experiments in Thickness by Kersten Geers
A close study of eight buildings de Carlo constructed as part of his lifelong engagement with the rural Italian town of Urbino
Italian architect, planner, writer and educator Giancarlo de Carlo (1919-2005) first visited the small Italian hill town Urbino in 1951 to carry out a minor refurbishment of the offices of the rector of the university. His ambitions quickly expanded, and he proposed a master plan to reconstruct the town through new buildings and renovations that melded with Urbino's social fabric.
This book is part of the Everything without Content series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis, and it presents the work that Giancarlo de Carlo built in Urbino in the 1960s and '70s, in the shadow of his involvement in Team 10 debates that challenged modernist doctrines on architecture and urbanism. The eight buildings in this book are presented through drawings by students of the Academy of Architecture USI, Mendriso, and photographs by Stefano Graziani.
