Alvisi Kirimoto - (Progressive. Sections of Italian Architecture) by Maurizio Carones & Valerio Paolo Mosco (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The first in an architecture series that aims to dedicate small monographs to the most interesting Italian practitioners, with a series of agile bilingual books mapping the best of contemporary architecture. Text in English and Italian.

Alvisi Kirimoto is an international architecture, urban planning and design studio. Founded by Massimo Alvisi and Junko Kirimoto in 2002, it is distinguished by its sartorial approach to design, its "sensitive" use of technology and its control of space through the manipulation of paper. Their dialogue with nature, urban regeneration and focus on social issues make their projects unique in the international architecture scene.
