Description
Book Synopsis
This book tells the story of the making of a community, which occurred hand-in-hand with the building of an archipelago of residences in the countryside north of Rome. Lina Malfona together with Fabio and Simone Petrini designed and built this archipelago of 'ultra-residential' villas, a place to experience private as well as public life. This book tells the story of the making of a community, which occurred hand-in-hand with the building of an archipelago of suburban residences, which reaffirm the value of the countryside within a technological and digital society. From 2010 onwards, Lina Malfona together with Petrini Architects and thanks to the support of the structural engineer Tommaso Malfona has been designing and building this archipelago of villas in the countryside north of Rome, which is also where their home-studio is located. This experimental residence has become a point of reference for the design of an innovative housing typology, an 'ultra-residential' villa as a place to experience private as well as public life. With Contributions of Pippo Ciorra (introduction); Kenneth Frampton, Stanley Allen (blurbs)Review Quotes
"Residentialism: A Suburban Archipelago documents Italian architect Lina Malfona's designs for a series of suburban homes outside of Rome. All built since 2010, these decidedly modern residences create a vibrant community that establish a new typology of private and public life in the landscape." --ARCHITECT, The Journal of the American Institute of Architects
"The slow catasrophe of climate change requires that architects take a holisitc view of the environment: nature and culture, city and countryside, architecture and territory. Residentialism does just that." --Stan Allen, Princeton SoA
"This exceptionally cultivated and beautiful book is infused throughout by didactic poetics." --Kenneth Frampton, Columbia GSAPP
