Diane Yvonne Ghirardo Books

An account of modern architecture from the late nineteenth century to the present day, Italy discusses familiar examples from Rome, Milan and Florence, as well as lesser-known buildings from small towns and rural areas. Ghirardo uniquely examines responses to ecological challenges and the problem of illegal building.

An examination of the architectural world and its theories since the late 1960s in the context of social and political issues. It looks at a broad survey of buildings, but focuses on specific megaprojects as examples for discussion. It also considers the work of lesser-known designers.
