RARE ARCHITECTURE

ENVIRONSCAPES

The first work dedicated entirely to the projects of ELASTICO SPA Stefano Pujatti Architetti, this book takes the metaphor of cooking to develop a re-reading of contemporary architecture. The text provides a healthy serving of the disabused attitude that should inspire anyone who, through exploration, experiment and construction, strives to improve the very sense of contemporary architecture. ELASTICO SPA proposes a very special kind of architecture predicated upon ideas, lots of ideas; upon open engagement with the opportunities offered by materials and technology. Architecture here develops in interaction with an environment; it is the fruit of direct experience and awareness of ‘setting’. Accompanied by lively and original texts, the 28 projects presented here are an introduction to the committed and dertemined professionalism of one of the most interesting architectural studios in modern-day Italy. Attention to detail, exploration of architectural means and innovative expression – these are just some of the ingredients of the ELASTICO SPA’s robust and complete architectural language. Well worth a try.
