Description
Since its construction in the early 1960s, in front of the cathedral and adjacent to the Roman archological area, the municipal office of Public Works in Piazza San Giovanni has been the focus of heated debate about its insertion into the heart of the old city centre. This latest title in the Contemporary Architecture in Turin series sheds light on the controversial decision-making and planning procedures behind the building's construction and the surrounding urban context. As this series progresses it is unfolding into a unique and intriguing collection of insights into the recent development of a single medium-sized European city, and all in a handy pocket-size too.
