An eclectic protagonist who steered clear of specific styles and schools, a master of hydroelectric architecture, and a great town planner whose projects changed the face of Milan. Produced in collaboration with the Fondazione Piero Portaluppi, this new exhaustive monograph comprises a large photo album with new colour images of Portaluppi's architectural projects and interiors, taken by the well-known photographer Ciro Frank Schiappa; three previously unpublished essays, illustrated with vintage photos by Antonio Paoletti; views and models of Portaluppi's projects; items documenting his personal interests (cartoons, diagrams, sundials, postcards, newspaper cuttings). The volume also features an interview with Portaluppi's nephew, architect Piero Castellini, by the famous film director Luca Guadagnino; an unpublished essay by architect Paolo Portoghesi; a biography of Piero Portaluppi by Jacopo Ghilardotti; a list of works and a bibliography compiled by Ferruccio Lupi, conservator at Fondazione Piero Portaluppi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51127196156177,"sku":"NIN9788857247465","price":88.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51334969393425,"sku":"NGR9788857247465","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8857247465.jpg?v=1771500968","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/piero-portaluppi-book-piero-maranghi-9788857247465","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
