After the two successful International Meetings in Guimarães (2010) and
Brussels (2012), we are now gathering in Turin for our Third International
Conference.
Turin, “the nicest village in the world” for Montesquieu, “one-company
town” for so many 20th-century observers, has many histories that can
speak for it. In the last fifteen years, Turin’s cultural offer and its tourist
accommodation capacity have widely increased. The city is reorganizing
its economic identity also by promoting and being host to an array of cultural activities, exhibitions and conventions related to the cultural heritage,
considered in its broad range of artistic, architectural, environmental assets and resources. World-famous events have reshaped Turin’s public image. The Winter Olympic Games (2006), the exhibition of the Holy Shroud
(2010), and the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of
Italy (2011), put much energy into the connection between mega-events
and cultural elaboration, through an extensive programme of exhibitions,
historic symposia and thematic itineraries.
Turin is home to a lively community of historians and has attracted the interest of architectural and urban historians during most of the 20th century.
The city’s baroque architecture gained the early attention of scholars
such as Albert Erich Brinckmann, who in 1931 dedicated to Turin and Piedmont his book Theatrum novum Pedemontii: Ideen, Entwürfe und Bauten
von Guarini, Juvarra, Vittone. Studies on the capital city of Piedmont proliferated between the 1950s and the 1960s, thanks to the work of such European and North American scholars, as Henry Millon, Rudolf Wittkower,
and Richard Pommer. These efforts were paralleled by the research work
carried out in Turin by architectural and art historians such as Nino Carboneri, Mario Passanti, Andreina Griseri, and others. The attention for the
architecture of Turin often went hand in hand with an interest for its urban
structure: Turin was singled out by several scholars as an especially relevant example of European capital city characterized by a uniform, carefully
3
organized built landscape. The listing of the circuit of the Royal Residences
as a World Heritage Site in 1997, has recognized the importance of this
organization well beyond the boundaries of the city walls.
In more recent years, the attention to the baroque architecture of Turin
was complemented by an interest for its modern buildings. The architecture of 19th-century Turin came to be considered as a significant example
of the civic potential of national historicism and the work of Alessandro
Antonelli (including his 167-metres tall Mole Antonelliana) was analyzed and
discussed as one of the most interesting European attempts to pursue a
deep rationalization of traditional building techniques.
Turin has often been seen as one of the birthplaces of architectural modernism in Italy, thanks to the favourable context provided by its industrialization. The Fiat Lingotto factory, mostly built between 1916 and 1926,
became an icon of European concrete architecture. The presence in the
city of such architects and critics as Giuseppe Pagano and Edoardo Persico
helped opening the debates on architecture and the city to the influence of
European modernism.
After WWII, the city rose to national prominence as one of the leading centres of Italian architectural culture, where architects like Roberto Gabetti
and Aimaro Isola and urban planners like Giovanni Astengo led the path
towards a revision of modernist architectural paradigms.
Preparations for the Turin Meeting started two years ago. The call for sessions and roundtables launched in the summer 2012 far exceeded the Committees’ expectations: we received 100 proposals of which 27 were selected.
These made up the call for papers that yielded more than 500 abstracts.
Thanks to this exceptional response, 3 open sessions were activated.
In addition to this, and in order to encourage an exchange between the
main research topics addressed by the international scholarly community
and the studies conducted by younger and emerging scholars within the
Italian PhD programs, the local Executive Committee, in accordance with
the Advisory Committee of the Meeting, chose to promote two roundtables
exclusively devoted to the presentation of studies recently carried on in
PhD programs affiliated to Italian Universities. The aim of this initiative
was to overcome the difficulties that often obstacle the dissemination of
some of the most promising outputs of Italian doctoral programs by providing them with a truly international arena of discussion. This further call
resulted in 37 proposals of which 15 were selected.
The EAHN Third International Meeting consists of 157 papers and discussion positions arranged in 27 sessions and 5 roundtables, involving 176
4
speakers and 50 respondents. In order to ensure that sessions appealing
to the same kind of audience were not scheduled in the same slot, we
loosely organized them in 6 tracks: “Early Modern”, “Representation and
Communication”, “Questions of Methodology”, “Theoretical and Critical Issues”, “20th Century”, and “Circulation of Architectural Cultures and Practices”. These will then be presented in consecutive rather than parallel sequences so as to give participants the possibility to attend an entire track.
Coherently with the two past editions, EAHN 2014 confirms and strengthens the wide international resonance of the EAHN biannual Meetings and
again promises to be a global forum of discussion, attracting scholars who
are eager to share the results of their work in an event that brings them
all together. We have participants from 37 countries including USA, by far
the most represented country, with 52 participants affiliated to American
universities, followed by Italy (35), UK (17), and at a distance, Australia,
France, Portugal, Belgium, Ireland, Poland, Israel, Slovenia, Switzerland,
Croatia, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Brazil, Chile, Greece, Serbia,
Canada, Estonia, Norway, Spain, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey, Austria, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Singapore.
For its Third EAHN International Meeting, EAHN has relied upon the organisational efforts of the Architecture and Design Department of the
Politecnico di Torino. The Polytechnic’s history is interwoven with the evolution of Turin as an industrial city. Officially, it was founded in 1906, but its
origins go back to the Scuola di Applicazione per gli Ingegneri, established
in Turin in 1859, and the Museo Industriale Italiano, founded in 1862 under the aegis of the Ministry of Agriculture, Trade and Industry. Today, the
Politecnico has 31,000 students enrolled in more than 100 courses, of
which 22 are Bachelor Degrees; 30 Masters of Science; 10 second-level
specialization courses, and 14 PhD programs.
The main venue of the Turin conference is provided by the 17th-century
rooms of the Castello del Valentino, the present seat of the Architecture
Department of the Turin Polytechnic and part of the site “Residences of
the Royal House of Savoy” inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in
1997.
Due to the limited capacity of the Salone d’Onore, the Castle’s most spacious hall, and in order to accommodate the larger audiences of plenary
sessions and lecture keynotes, the organizing committee had to search for
alternative locations. What was initially a necessity finally turned into the
opportunity of providing the conference with two additional architecturally
5
remarkable settings: Carlo Mollino’s Teatro Regio and Pier Luigi Nervi’s
Salone B of Torino Esposizioni.
In order to introduce the richness and variety of Turin’s cultural heritage
to the conference convenors, a vast array of study tours are also offered. From the architectures of Guarini to Mollino’s own residence and the
buildings of “Italia 61”, from the baroque quarters to the remnants of the
remarkable industrial plants of Fiat, Michelin and Savigliano, in-depth visits
to major buildings and sites have been organized. Museum and archival
collections will be also made available to small groups. Themes, such as
history of construction, will be explored by focussing on some insider-views,
rarely accessible even to the most adverted tourist: Antonelli’s complex
masonry structure of the Mole Antonelliana, for example. Day-tours have
been arranged, to discover Ivrea and the patronage of Adriano Olivetti, and
towards some of the highlights of the baroque country.
In accordance with the network’s spirit of enhancing communication, fomenting the exchange of the research outputs and expanding its scholarly
community well beyond the limits of the European framework, EAHN 2014
is honoured to host the many researchers who have been willing to partecipate in the Third International Meeting.
Enjoy the conference and enjoy Turin!

Financially this event was also made possible through the contribution of
local institutions, namely Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRT and
Camera di Commercio di Torino. In particular, thanks to the precious support of the Compagnia di San Paolo in conjunction with the Urban Center
of Turin, the organizing committee was able to award 15 grants covering
registration costs and extra expenses to emerging and younger scholars
lacking an established academic or institutional position who take part in
the conference either as speakers or chairs.
Along with sessions, keynotes, tours, a bookshop, a conference dinner and
a closing reception, a series of additional side events are also planned.
These include three workshops organised by members of the EAHN special interest groups, a lecture featuring some of the issues at stake at the
2014 Venice Biennale, book launches, a photographic exhibition’s special
opening, a journal presentation, a Meeting for the preparation of the EAHN
themed conference in Belgrade (2015), and two EAHN business meetings.
Eahn 2014 is deeply grateful to the institutions that have offered their
financial or institutional support. A special debt is due to the members of
the local Executive Committee, to the many colleagues and friends who will
lead the 21 Conference and post-Conference tours, and to the volunteer
students from the Degree, Master and PhD courses. A last and special
thanks goes to the EAHN 2014 Advisory Committee to whom we all owe
the scientific quality of this event.

EAHN
The need for a network in the field of architectural history has long been felt
among European scholars and those working on European architecture. The
idea of creating the network emerged from discussions held at the 2004
and 2005 meetings of the Society of Architectural Historians, as well as the
2005 INHA/SAH International Conference in Paris.
In the late 2005 the European Architectural History Network was established as a temporary association under French law, with the goal of preparing the foundation of a permanent organization.
An organizing committee with broad International and professional representation coordinates EAHN’s current activities as well as the development
of by-laws and other details for the future permanent organization.
Today, EAHN supports research and education by providing a public forum
for the dissemination of knowledge about the histories of architecture.
Based in Europe, it serves architectural historians and scholars in allied
fields without restriction on their areas of study. The network seeks to overcome limitations imposed by National boundaries and institutional conventions through pursuit of the following aims:
- Increasing the visibility of the discipline among scholars and the public;
- Promoting scholarly excellence and innovation;
- Fostering inclusive, transnational, interdisciplinary, and multicultural approaches to the history of the built environment;
- Encouraging communication among the disciplines that study space;
- Facilitating the open exchange of research results;
- Providing a clearinghouse for information related to the discipline.

The plan of Turin is composed of a Roman grid of squares. The basis is the square.
Web and graphic design
Built space is a volume, a cube. The perspective of a cube has two faces. squared.
The Logo of the Congress, designed
by Mauro Melis, was chosen from a
competition for students of the degree course in Industrial Design at
the Turin Polytechnic (Industrial Design Students Award, Politecnico di
Torino, 2012).
Architecture builds spaces and volumes. The internal space is solid.
The square is the beginning and the end. Turin is a mesh of constructed spaces, cubic volumes: buildings.
The buildings of Turin are not all the same. Each historical period has its own characteristic type.
The the types of Turin can be summarized in the arch, for example the portico.
The Architecture of a city is a stratification of historical periods.

Teatro Regio:
Foyer del Toro
Piazza Castello 215
Completed in 1973 on a project defined between 1965 and 1966, Turin’s opera theatre owes part of its
charm to the foyer, the area outside
the auditorium that can be roamed by
the public before and after the recitals and during intervals. Accessed by
twelve glass double doors separated
by granite partitions, and visually related by a sequence of elliptic openings, the foyer is distributed on three
levels connecting the new building
with the pre-existing mid-18th century
structure. In this extensive 4,000

sqm area finds place the Foyer del
Toro, built inside what remains of the
original theatre designed by Benedetto Alfieri and named after the exquisite marble mosaic of its pavement
picturing the stylized figure of a rampant bull, the City’s emblem. Characterised by a sophisticated interplay
of windows and mirrors further enhanced by the red upholstery and the
elegantly designed chandeliers, this
space with no partitions allows some
spectacular views towards Piazza
Castello and the modern theatre. At
the same level, two elliptic marble
counters located on a passageway
closed by crystal walls link the modern building with the pre-existing theatre offering further glimpses of the
adjoining Archivio di Stato.

locations
Viale Pier Andrea Mattioli 39
Immersed in the 19th century romantic Park of Valentino, along the
left bank of the River Po, the Polytechnic’s Architecture Department
is housed in a building constructed,
transformed and enlarged in several
phases since the second half of the
16th century. The pre-existing hunting lodge was acquired by Emanuele
Filiberto in 1564. Later on, his son
Carlo Emanuele I bequeathed it to
the daughter of Henry IV and wife
of Amedeo I, Christine of France
(the Madama Reale), who used it
as her favourite residence and lived
there at length with her court. Under Christine the castle underwent
a series of notable extension works
to designs by Carlo di Castellamonte
and his son Amedeo. Based on the
French pavilion system and visually
related to the surrounding hills and
to the Villa della Regina and its vineyards, the Valentino is featured in
18
the engravings of the Theatrum Sabaudiae as part of a more ambitious
and larger project. The piano nobile
twin apartments (for the Queen Regent and the Prince respectively)
with their halls accessed by a great
central stairway and decorated with
rich stuccoes and allegorical frescoes recording some of the most
salient dates of Piedmont’s history,
still preserve the traces of the original 17th-century splendour. After
1824 the castle served as barracks
for the Army Corps of Engineers and
in 1861 became the seat of the Regia Scuola di Applicazione per gli
Ingegneri, later the Polytechnic of
Turin.
The three rooms at the piano nobile
hosting some of the EAHN sessions
and bookshop - the Feste e Fasti,
Caccia, and Zodiaco - are part of
the 17th-century (1640s - 1660s)
ducal apartments, decorated by the
Bianchi, Recchi and Casella workshops following the architectural
design by Amedeo di Castellamonte.
The stucco and fresco decoration
of each room refers to themes and
virtues associated with the education of the Prince and the exercise
of power of the Regent: Caccia, as a
Royal privilege and peacetime activity (1640s); Feste e Fasti, probably
as a memorial of the role of the recently deceased (1663) Regent and
Duchess; Zodiaco, where the passing of time - the planets, the seasons - becomes a metaphor for dynastic continuity (original decoration
from the 1630s, with 19th-century
modifications).

Torino Esposizioni:
Salone B
Viale Matteo Maria Boiardo 24
An open competition for the design
of a new hall destined to host fashion events was launched as early
as 1936. The winning design proposal by Ettore Sottsass Sr. was
completed in 1938 and consisted
of four wings arranged around a
rectangular central garden located
on the south-western edge of the
Valentino Park, the former site of
a sequence of Great International
Exhibitions since the last decades
of the 19th century. This structure,
partially damaged during the war,
was altered between 1948 and
1950: the central pavilion was replaced by a hall designed by Carlo
Biscaretti di Ruffia and meant to
serve as a showcase for Turin’s automobile industry. Inaugurated on
15 September 1948 and publicized
as “the most beautiful building ever
built in Italy”, the Salone B attracted
the attention of the specialized international press as early as 1949,
when it appeared on the cover of La
Technique des Travaux. With its two
side galleries closed at one end by a
semicircular apse and its roof structure designed by the Italian engineer
Pier Luigi Nervi, the Hall B displays
one of Nervi’s first applications of
the principles of structural prefabrication, combining in a single largescale vaulted structure, a highly
personal use of ferro-concrete with
the extensive use of corrugated precast units.

Window: Thoughts upon
Postwar Architecture in
Milan
Fulvio Irace, Politecnico di Milano,
Italy
“Buildings’ façades do not only
speak of their birthdates, but also
tell something about the moods,
the customs and the most secret
thoughts of their time”.
These words taken from Alberto Savinio’s Listen to Your Heart, City, the
book he dedicated to Milan following
his visit to the Lombard city just af-
24
ter the war’s bombing, seem to suggest that a building’s façade can be
considered as the privileged terrain
of a research aimed at giving voice
to a set of emotions.
Immediately after the war, a whole
generation of Milanese architects
will further strengthen this idea: for
them façades are flat screens onto
which it is possible to project the
portrait of a new bourgeoisie as an
idealized class. The first one to make
this point is Gio Ponti, for whom the
so called facciata leggera embodies the progress of a civilization: in
Ponti’s work the building’s envelope
is treated as a surface where the
moral program of “being modern”
gains the strength of a manifesto
and gives shape to the middle classes’ aspirations to build a “new world”
based on precision and technical efficiency, a landscape of shimmering
lights, where the objects seems to
fly freely over the ground.

On the National Character
of European Architecture
Hartmut Frank, HafenCity
Universität Hamburg, Germany
In the mid 1950s Nikolaus Pevsner
publishes his successful book The
Englishness of English Art, an account based on his lecture at the
Birkbeck College of London during the war and influenced - as he
explains - by the work of Dagobert
Frey, On the English Character in
the Visual Arts published 1942 in
Vienna. Furthermore he mentions
his dissertation on Saxon Baroque
Architecture of the late 1920s,
but does not refer to his German
teacher Wilhelm Pinder, who during
the 1930s had written a renowned
account of German art dealing with
the racial character and the evolution of German form. In another lecture of 1969 Pevsner again returns
to the national paradigm discussing
26
Ruskin’s and Viollet-le-Duc’s Englishness and Frenchness respectively,
in relation to their appreciation of
Gothic Architecture.
It is a striking fact that a prominent
advocate of the International style
like Pevsner paid so much attention to the question of the national
character in the arts. The particular
historical situation during the war,
and later during the formation of the
European Community may be an explanation. However, the thinking in
national categories did not come up
at this moment. We have to go back
to the time around the French Revolution to see the idea of the national
state rising all over Europe. In Germany, Goethe’s booklet On German
Architecture, published anonymously
in 1773 played an important role in
this process. Despite the territorial
repartition in the high Middle Ages,
the often changing boundaries of Europe, and the mixture of populations
over the centuries, the early 19th
century was entangled in a fierce dispute about the German, French or
English origins of Gothic architecture.
For more than 150 years European
architecture became a thoroughly
national affair. The striving for a respective national architecture was
accompanied by intensive historical
research, aimed on one hand at
establishing an effective reference
catalogue of national monumental
and vernacular architecture, and on
the other, at fostering the new disciplines of art and architectural history. National character and national
art became an inseparable couple.
The criteria to judge architectural
quality belonged to their realm and
far less to inherent categories like
beauty, form, space, construction,
durability or utility.
Only recently new methods to anal-
yse the built environment and architecture are emancipating from the
burden of the national paradigms
and helping us to reinterpret European architecture as a common
heritage as well as a common task
for the future.
keynotes
orate on the same theme thereby
turning it into the leitmotiv of their
respective works. By rejecting all
sorts of volumetric effects in favour
of pure flatness, they manage to
give shape to successions of plans
where the windows’ profiles as well
as the buildings’ fixtures are like a
weave of lines on a page, the words
of a language of aluminum, glass,
ceramics and wood.

Along with sessions, keynotes, tours, a bookshop, a conference dinner and
a closing reception, a series of additional side events are also planned.
These include three workshops organized by members of the EAHN special
interest groups, a lecture featuring some of the issues at stake at the 2014
Venice Biennale, a photographic exhibition’s special opening, a journal presentation, a Meeting for the preparation of the EAHN themed conference in
Belgrade (2015), and two EAHN business meetings.

09.00-13.00: Urban and Architectural Imaginaries. Explorations in
Photography, Film and Video, coordinated by Miriam Paeslack (University of Buffalo, USA) and Anat
Falbel (Universidade Estadual de
Campinas, Brazil).
The Interest Group on Urban Photography, Film, and Video aims at
assessing,
contextualising,
and
theorising urban still and moving
imagery. The group’s second preconference workshop provides a
platform for critique and exchange
of recent work on the urban and
46
architectural image of the late 19th
and early 20th century. While artists,
journalists, and non-professional
photographers have often focused
on the city, the urban image has undergone far less scrutiny than the
urban text and the city as subject
matter in literature. The goal of this
interest group is therefore not only
to establish a scholarly platform for
the urban photographic image of the
nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries, but also to open a dialogue
between disciplines such as visual
studies, film studies, architectural
history, urbanism/planning, human
geography, anthropology.

11.30-12.30: Elemental Permanence, or: the Indifference of
Modern Architecture. An Excerpt
from the 14th Venice Architecture
Biennale, coordinated by Manfredo
di Robilant
19 years separate the two advertisements above. The first, of 1936,
shows, in its lower portion, a line of
workers in a factory flooded with the
sun thanks to a transparent façade.
Consistently, the headline invites to
“Let the spring in the firm”. The advertisement was produced by Nazi
organization Schönheit der Arbeit
(“Beauty of Labor”). The second, of
1955, shows youngsters who happily participate to a class thanks to
the wide view on the idyllic landscape
outside allowed by the transparent
façade of their classroom. The advertisement was produced by Libbey
Owens Ford Glass Company, based in
Toledo, Ohio.
World War II, Holocaust, nuclear
bombings on Japan, war in Korea
and beginning of the Cold War took
48
place in the time lapse between the
two images.
In the field of architecture major processes took place during the same
years, such as Reconstruction in
countries hit by the war, as well as
the spread of International Style in
America. Wright’s Fallingwater, Le
Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation and
Ronchamp, Johnson’s Glass House,
Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth
House were constructed also in the
same years. By converse, the two ads
insinuate that the same element of architecture went unchanged in the way
it was presented, perceived, praised.
Is this just a triggering case, or is it
a demanding symptom of how the
meaningfulness and thus the active role of architecture in face of
modernity has been overestimated
by a growing community of architects and scholars who were, and
are, interested in emphasizing the
discipline’s role? Should the two images warn that complex narratives
on architecture always run the risk
of hermeneutical redundancy, even
when they are based on philological
search for sources? Shouldn’t the
building, dissected like a body in an
anatomy table and re-conducted to
the bare evidence of its fundamental
elements, simply suggest that things
are what they are?
This talk presents one of the introductions to the “big book” published
along with the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale, directed by Rem Koolhaas and dedicated to Fundamentals
– the elements of architecture.

studioata
The exhibition explores the residential architecture built for the middle
classes in Turin between the mid
1940s and the early 1980s. This
urban residential stock played a
fundamental role in the processes
of growth and transformation of
the city during the second half of
the 20th century and had a central
part in facilitating the access of the
middle classes to better living conditions, modernity and comfort. The
exhibit shows the result of a collective research conducted over the
last three years on the forms, times
and geographies that characterized
the shaping of this residential stock
and aims at observing this ordinary
landscape through a plurality of different perspectives adopting a narrative that is strongly supported by
the photographic enquire, as well
as by the use of thematic maps and
analytical representations.

In 1925, the Oslo Architects’ Association initiated an ambitious
collection of architectural models,
drawings and photographs, intended to show the best of Norwegian
modernism. Circulating actively in
the 1920s and 30s, the collection
later fell into oblivion. In 2013, parts
of the collection was restored and
shown again in Oslo. This book tells
the remarkable story of a forgotten
collection and its afterlife, exploring
at the same time the scale model
as a mass media of modern architecture.

Tours
As part of the bi-annual Conference, Eahn offers a vast array of study tours
in Turin and its vicinity that are open to conference attendees and the general
public.
Tours will be led by over 30 guides, recruited among architectural and urban
historians, local practising architects and structural engineers, Eahn committees’ members and conference convenors, independent scholars, Faculty
members and residents who will be kind enough to open their private homes’
doors to the visiting public.
Starting from Carlo Mollino’s Teatro Regio, the venue of the conference’s
opening address, it will be possible to choose among a set of 21 tours, 12 of
which have been arranged thematically and typologically into 4 threads (“Archival Sources for Architectural & Urban History”; “Legacy of Turin’s Industrial
Past”, “The City on Display”, “20th century Landmarks”).
Whereas the majority of tours (lasting 2 to 5 hours) are devoted to Turin,
embracing a wide spectrum of architectural and urban episodes of this city’s
fabric, from its ancient origins to its most recent developments, post-conference longer (lasting 1 to 2 days) tours will head towards the surrounding region, to Olivetti’s Ivrea, the medieval settlements of Val di Susa, and the other
Piedmontese centres of Baroque architecture, from Venaria Reale to Chieri,
Carignano, Mondovì and the Canavese.

tours
Tour leaders: Michela Comba;
Paolo Napoli
13.00-14.30
The current Teatro Regio is located
on the site of a previous royal theatre built between 1738 and 1740
to a design by Benedetto Alfieri and
destroyed by a fire in 1936. An open
competition launched that same year
and won by architects Aldo Morbelli
and Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca
formally requested that the theatre
would be reconstructed within the
surviving perimeter walls of the original mid 18th century building. Nevertheless, due to the beginning of
the war this project was not carried
out. Moreover, Morbelli’s premature
death along with the necessity to contain costs eventually led the City to
commission the project to Carlo Mollino and engineer Marcello Zavelani
Rossi, soon to be joined by Carlo
Graffi and Adolfo Zavelani Rossi. The
design, defined between 1965 and
1966 and completed in 1973, succeeded in integrating the pre-existing
construction with the new one by
detaching the theatre from its 18th
century structure and adding two elevated symmetrical wings. The winding profiles of the two lateral fronts,
the star patterns of the bricks on one
of the two side façades, alluding to
similar features of the baroque Palazzo Carignano’s courtyard nearby, the
flamboyant foyer with its floors con-
54
nected by escalators, flights of stairs
and walkways, the combination of
the purple carpets, proscenium and
vault with the red seats and walls are
among the most distinctive signs of
Mollino’s opera theatre. In addition to
illustrating the history of the design
process the visit will concentrate on
the building’s structural conception
and on its more recent transformations based on the design by architects Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro
Isola.
T2 Palazzo Madama
Tour leader: Pino Dardanello
13.00-14.30
Palazzo Madama’s staircase and
State rooms stand, along with the
suburban Residences of the “Corona
di Delizie”, as a demonstration of the
house of Savoy’s ambition to emulate
in scale and magnificence the other
European Courts. Yet, this “palace” is
first and foremost a time capsule embodying different strata of the city’s
history, from antiquity to the present
day. It now houses the collections of
the Museo Civico d’Arte Antica, Turin’s municipal museum of ancient
art, ranging from medieval paintings
to architectural fragments, to an
extensive decorative arts collection.
Set up in 1861 by the City of Turin
to bring together and house the heritage of Piedmont, the Museum has
been recently redesigned, with the
aim of leaving open to the visitor as
many options as possible in moving
through the building, and even adding
to its diversity with the planting of a
faux medieval garden in the castle’s
moat. While focusing on Juvarra’s
staircase, in connection with the
18thcentury State apartments, the
visit will also serve as an introduction
to the castle’s history.
T3 Introduction to the
Archivio di Stato and the
Biblioteca Reale
Track: “Archival Sources
for Architectural & Urban History”
Tour leader: Edoardo Piccoli
13.00-15.00
The collections of the Archivio di Stato di Torino guarantee the survival of
a series of important funds related
to the history of Turin and its architectures. Housed in two historical
buildings (Juvarra’s 1720s State Archives, right in front of the Teatro Regio, and Giuseppe Talucchi’s 1820s
S. Luigi Gonzaga Hospital) deserving
a visit in themselves, the Archives are
rich both in documents related to the
evolution of the Savoy State from the
Middle Ages to the birth of the Italian nation in 1861, and in other collections related to architectural and
urban history down to the present
day (maps, family funds and, for the
20th century, archives of institutions,
of architects, of publishers - such as
Einaudi - , of industrial firms). Our visit
will concentrate upon Juvarra’s build-
ing (the renowned “sezione Corte”
mentioned in countless footnotes)
and its present collections, with documentary highlights from the 17th to
the 20th century, arranged for us in
a study room by the Archives’ direction. A short introduction to the nearby Biblioteca Reale is also planned.
T4 Via Roma Nuova
Track: “20th-century Landmarks”
Tour leader: Caterina Franchini;
Elena Greco
13.00-15.00
Two decades sufficed to Mussolini
to rebuild the country putting into
action his famous slogan “walk and
build” that was to change the face of
several Italian historic centres. The
demolition and reconstruction works
(1931-1937) that would radically
transform both the appearance of
Turin’s via Roma and the composition of its social fabric, well epitomize
the regime’s ambiguous attitude towards architecture and urbanism.
The first stretch comprised between
the two theatrical urban spaces of
piazzas Castello and San Carlo, was
completed before the foundation of
the Fascist empire when the urban
scale project was largely conceived
as an instrumentum regni and its
architectures, paradoxically, did not
display a stylistic unity, providing, instead, various re-invented versions
of the Baroque codes of the historic
fabric nearby. On the rear sides of
the first block, however, the 19-sto-

tours
Tour leaders: Roberto Caterino;
Maurizio Gomez; Susan Klaiber
13.00-15.00
Emblem of complexity and, for some
(such as Francesco Milizia), of departure from architectural common
sense, the church of San Lorenzo by
Guarino Guarini will be examined as
a tour-de-force in design, construc-
56
tion and decoration. Specific attention will be given to Guarini’s approach, as a Theatine priest, to the
design of a church of his own Order.
A discussion of the choice and provenance of the colored marbles that
are used throughout the lower levels is also in program, as well as a
presentation of the composite structures (iron ties, carpentry, masonry
vaults) at clerestory level that allow
for the mise en scène of the fragile
supports (three-dimensional arches,
freestanding columns) that frame
the great void created by Guarini at
the ground floor.
residential architecture, most notably the house the architect built
for himself at the corner between

Neighbourhood
Hunting lodge turned into summer
residence for the court, Stupinigi
owes its fame to the “open architecture” (Pommer) of its central pavilion, designed by Filippo Juvarra,
and to the ingenious, fractal-like plan
extending into the countryside, developed by later architects into a maze
of apartments, secondary buildings,
and rustici. The rustici, an expanded
version of the Palladian barchesse,
were essential to the vast estate surrounding the Residence - owned by
the Ordine Mauriziano, a chivalric order under the control of the House of
Savoy. The appartamento di Levante,
reopened after restoration in 2012,
and a showcase for the principles of
18th century distribution, will be the
focus of our visit of the interiors.
Tour leader: Filippo De Pieri
13.00-15.00
An apparently ordinary residential
neighbourhood and a truly exceptional building mark the two extremes of
Alessandro Antonelli’s challenging
designs at the boundaries of the
historic city. The construction of the
neighbourhood of Vanchiglia was
promoted in 1844 by a group of private developers led by Antonelli himself. The scheme was supported by
some ambitious planning proposals
that aimed at no less than overturning the prevailing patterns of residential expansion. The operation partly
failed but the area still hosts some
of the finest examples of Antonelli’s
in 1908 and two decades after the
death of its architect, it had become
something else entirely: the world’s
tallest masonry building and an unlikely symbol of municipal pride. The
tour also includes the ascent to the
Mole’s cupola (not advised for visitors subject to mobility impairment).

Library & The Archive
of Carlo Mollino
Track: “Archival Sources
for Architectural & Urban History”
Tour leader: Sergio Pace
13.30-14.30
Since the 1950s, the Architectural
Library and Archives of the Politecnico di Torino have represented one of
the most prominent sources in Italy
for the study of architectural and urban cultures. The Library houses an
outstanding collection of rare books,
either coming from private libraries
- as the case of Carlo Mollino or Giulia Veronesi – or resulting from the
patient acquisition of valuable works:
among others, the series of volumes
dedicated to national exhibitions, international and universal, set up in
Italy and abroad in the 19th and 20th
centuries is particularly noticeable.
The Archives of Architecture contain
an extraordinary wealth of paper and
digital documents, especially related
to the architectural culture of the
contemporary age in Turin and Pied-

rey Torre Littoria, built by the Savigliano steelworks on a design by architect Armando Melis and engineer
Giovanni Bernocco, clearly shows
the authors’ acknowledgement of an
updated modernist vocabulary. Alternative polemical designs were also
published by a group of local rationalist architects in the pages the modernist magazine La Casabella, then
directed by Giuseppe Pagano and
Edoardo Persico. Following these polemics, a competition was launched
for the reconstruction of the second
section of the street stretching from
piazza San Carlo to the 19th century
piazza Carlo Felice. It is here that
totalitarianism found some of its
most emblematic expressions: the
distinctive architectural vocabulary
displayed in piazza C.L.N., conceived
by the Roman architect Marcello Piacentini, was soon to become a veritable trademark of the Italian Fascist
regime. The tour will include a visit
to the panoramic Torre Littoria and
photo opportunities at a number of
other sites.
T9 The Mirafiori Fiat
Plant and its Residential
Neighbourhood
tours
Track: “Legacy of Turin’s Industrial
Past”
Tour leaders: Alberto Bologna,
Rita D’Attorre, Cinzia Gavello
12.45-15.00
(Packed lunch provided)
Already since 1936, the Fiat board
had discussed the construction of
an alternative plant to Lingotto. The
model was that of the Ford factories
in the US where the advantages of
single-storey buildings had been extensively tested. Although the site
was opened in 1937, the design
drawn up by Fiat Servizio Costruzioni
58
directed by engineer Vittorio Bonadè
Bottino was only submitted to the
city in 1938 and approved in 1942.
In the mid-fifties the need to expand
the production led to the decision
to double the entire facilities: in the
district located on the south side of
corso Settembrini the new Mirafiori
Sud factories were built, and only a
few years later two other impressive buildings for mechanical processing were added. The complex
also included structures designed
by the engineer Pier Luigi Nervi:
between 1954 and 1963 his construction company built the Nuovo
Ampliamento Nord, parallel to the
runway test vehicles, the buildings of
Ampliamento Officine Principali and
the Trattamento Materiale Greggio,
the forges, the so-called DEA expansion and the water tank, located in
the south side of the same factory.
A considerable effort was also addressed by Fiat to the implementation of the social services both as
the direct integration of the industrial areas as well as more complex
operations in the housing field and
its related services: from 1949,
in Turin and other towns, 12,000
apartments were built, with surface
areas ranging from 56 to142 sqm.
In 1952, Fiat started the construction of a much larger district in the
vicinity of the Mirafiori plant, however only in 1954 the company, in
coincidence with the construction
of Mirafiori Sud, decided to start a
proper housing plan, parallel to the
public intervention.

Track: “The City on Display”
Tour leaders: Mario Alberto
Chiorino
13.00-14.30
In 1936 Ettore Sottsass Sr. (18821953) wins the competition for a
new Fashion Hall at the south end
of the Valentino Park. Completed in
1938, the building is a clear expression of rationalism. After the war,
the structure undergoes several
transformations. In 1948 the central pavilion is replaced by a hall with
two sides galleries closed at one end
by a semicircular apse designed by
Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia to be used
as a showcase for Turin’s automobile industry. The roof structure is
designed by the Italian engineer Pier
Luigi Nervi. The hall represents the
first concrete possibility for Nervi
to apply the principles of structural
prefabrication, uniting, in a single
large-scale vaulted structure, his
highly personal use of ferro-concrete with the extensive use of corrugated pre-cast units. Inaugurated
on 15 September 1948 and publicized as “the most beautiful building ever built in Italy”, the Salome
B attracts the attention of the specialized international press as early
as 1949, when it appears on the
cover of La technique des travaux.
In 1950 Nervi adds a rectangular
pavilion covered by a ribbed vault
with precast elements. In 1959 another Italian engineer Riccardo Morandi adds an underground pavilion,
a pre-stressed concrete rhomboidal
latticework, supported by inclined
struts. Further modifications for the
2006 Winter Olympics have made
Sottsass’ rationalist design almost
illegible.
T11 The Building Site

Headquarters
Tour leaders: Carlo Micono;
Andrea Spinaci; Fabio Piovesana
13.00-15.00
The tour will explore the construction area of the new Regione
Piemonte offices and facilities, part
of a master plan aimed at the redevelopment and regeneration of a
317,350 sqm area including the
former site of the aeronautical company FIAT Avio and the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (Italian Rail Network),
comprised between the railway
tracks, Lingotto, via Nizza and via
Passo Buole. With its 205 metres
and 42 floors above ground, on a
design by Fuksas Associati further
developed by AI Engineering Group,
this tower – so far the tallest in Italy – will be able to accommodate
2,600 employees and over 2,000
visitors.

mont. Its internationally well-known
collection features drawings, photographs, correspondence and other
documents having belonged to Carlo
Mollino. The Archives, however, also
include less explored funds, essential to understand the developments
in architecture in the 19th and 20th
centuries: thus, quite important are
the documents having belonged to
Franco Berlanda, Marziano Bernardi, Franco Bertone, Mario Dezzutti,
Francesco Dolza, Roberto Gabetti,
Sergio Hutter, Domenico Morelli
and Gino Salvestrini. Sets of vintage
photographs from the Savigliano
steelworks as well as two series of
photographic reproductions of maps
of Turin and Piedmont complete the
collection.

T12 Borgo Medievale
tours
Track: “The City on Display”
Tour leader: Elena Dellapiana
12.45-13.30
Conceived for the Art History section of the Italian General Exhibition
of 1884, the Borgo Medievale is an
anthology of its 15th century Piedmontese architecture, reconstructed so as to give shape to a coherent
whole: a fortified village and a castle
towering it. The project, promoted
by a group of historians, men of
letters, artists and architects for
whom the study of the medieval remains of Piedmont, Liguria and Valle
d’Aosta was not merely a leisurely
occupation: Giuseppe Giacosa, Vittorio Avondo, Riccardo Brayda and
especially Alfredo D’Andrade, a
painter and restorer of Portuguese
origins whose survey of Piedmont’s
smaller towns provided the scientific
basis for this initiative. Compared to
previous exhibitions of the same period, this one stands out not only for
its historical precision and systematic insistence on a defined place
and time, but also for the decision
to provide a scenario for the results
of the research, breaking down the
barriers between archaeological investigation and re-creation of the
past.

T13 Castello del Valentino:
the Noble Apartments
and the charpentes à la
française
Tour leaders: Valentina Lombardo,
Clara Bertolini; Marco Trisciuoglio
12.45-13.30
As congress venue, and as seat
of the Architecture school of Turin
Polytechnic, the Valentino Castle will
be freely roamed by everyone. This
guided tour will provide - for a privileged few! - an in-depth reading of the
piano nobile late 17th century twin
apartments (for the Queen Regent
and for the Prince respectively), and
an exclusive visit to the roofs. Visitors will appreciate how the dynastic
ties between the Dukes of Savoy and
Bourbon royal family are readable
in clear letters in the apartments’
stucco and fresco decoration, and
in more constructive terms in the
timber structures of the roofs. The
two roofs of the pavilions towards
the city are unique examples, in Italy,
of 17th century Larch timber-frame
construction, inspired by contemporary French examples. The wooden
frame was surveyed, studied with
dendrochronology and painstakingly
restored in the late 1980s, ensuring the conservation of the integrity
of the original elements: the tour includes a presentation of this restoration and an assessment of its results, after twenty years.
T14: Lingotto, Carpano
and Moi
Track: “Legacy of Turin’s Industrial
Past”
Tour leader: Sergio Pace
11.30-13.30
(Packed lunch provided)
Since its inauguration in the 1920s
up to today, Fiat Lingotto has lived
many lives and probably for this
reason it is regarded as the most
relevant example of modernist as
well as contemporary architecture
in Turin. As the first factory for the
production of cars to be built according to the principles of the scientific management by a team of
engineers guided by Giacomo Mattè
Trucco, Lingotto was soon to become an icon of modernist architecture, as testified by its publication in
Le Corbusier’s L’Esprit Nouveau. As
the largest relic of Turin’s industrial
past, after the end of the manufacturing activities in 1982, Lingotto
was turned into a multi-purpose centre of national relevance. The large
reconversion project, drawn by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, was accomplished in 2002 with the inauguration of the Pinacoteca Giovanni
e Marella Agnelli. In most recent
years, on the occasion of the 2006
Winter Olympics, the area surrounding Lingotto has been the object of
a further metamorphosis. Besides
the former railway tracks, replaced
by a pedestrian walkway signalled by
a big red arch designed by a team
led by Benedetto Camerana, other
changes have taken place in the
site of the former Mercati Generali
(Moi), a masterpiece of rationalist
architecture of the 1930s transformed into the commercial core
of the new Olympic Village. In the
meanwhile, along Via Nizza, other
former industrial plants have been
recently occupied by new activities:
in particular, a project of Negozio Blu
Architetti Associati redesigned the
former Carpano vermouth distillery
as the home of the food company
Eataly, bringing new life to the whole
neighbourhood.

The notoriety of the Bottega

1953 and 1956 to a project by
architects Roberto Gabetti and Ai-
maro Isola is linked to the polemics
that accompanied its publication in
1957 in the pages of Casabella-Continuità then directed by Ernesto N.
Rogers. The debate spread as far
as to involve the British critic Reyner Banham and led to a term being
coined by Paolo Portoghesi to define
this work: Neoliberty. The tour will

extensive programme of new constructions and public exhibitions.
Besides the two main buildings of
“Italia 61”, Pier Luigi and Antonio
Nervi’s Palazzo del Lavoro and Annibale and Giorgio Rigotti’s Palazzo
a Vela, the plan included the 19 pavilions designed to house the exhibition of the Italian Regions, an illuminated fountain, a monorail track, a
cable car to the surrounding hills of
Cavoretto and the so called Circarama built by the Fiat Servizio Costruzioni and designed for the projection,
on a circular screen, of a film about
Italy realized according to the most
updated technology of Walt Disney. Soon to be regarded for many
years as incongruous objects in the
surrounding urban fabric, with the
2006 Winter Olympics the buildings
of “Italia 61” have enjoyed a revival
of interest, albeit of a paradoxical
sort.

The exuberantly versatile and prolific Carlo Mollino, architect and
designer, but also rally driver, stunt
flier, skilled skier and celebrated
photographer, was born in Turin
in 1905, the only child of the engineer Eugenio. In this city he attended the Regia Scuola Superiore
di Architettura, later to become the
Faculty of Architecture of the Turin
Polytechnic, where he received his
degree in 1931. The tour will start
from the guided visit to the interior
of the architect’s reconstructed private residence overlooking the river
Po and will then head towards his
famous projects built in Turin since
the 1950s: the Rai Auditorium
(1950-1953) designed with Aldo
Morbelli and renovated in 2006 on
a much debated design by Benedetto Camerana; the Chamber of
Commerce (1965-1973), winning
entry of an open design competition
that was launched in 1964 whose
project was signed with Carlo Graffi,
Alberto Galardi and Antonio Migliasso; the exterior of the new Teatro
Regio commissioned to Mollino and
Zavelani Rossi by the City Council in
the mid sixties and inaugurated in
1973. The tour will end in the interiors of the Black and White Lutrario
dance hall of 1959, probably one of
Mollino’s most emblematic works,
where the theme of the sinuous line
pervades the entire project, from
the narrow curved corridor of the
entrance to the circular space of
the hall, from the wall’s mosaics to
the lighting and wrought iron railings
of the galleries.
T18 From Spina Centrale
to Scalo Vanchiglia
Track: “Legacy of Turin’s Industrial
Past”
Tour leaders: Guido Montanari;
Subhash Mukerjee
9.00-16.00
It is on “Viale della Spina” (backbone), resulting from the covering
of the obsolete railway tracks, that
one can find the most blatant signs
of Turin’s recent dramatic changes.
In fact here is the place where in a
few years’ time a number of vacant
industrial sites have undergone a
metamorphosis that has left deep
traces in the surrounding urban fabric. The history of “Viale della Spina”
coincides with the history of Turin’s
Master Plan drawn by architects Vittorio Gregotti and Augusto Cagnardi
(1995). At the time of its conception, following the crisis of the manufacturing industry, the plan was entrusted with many of the hopes to
re-launch Turin and re-discuss its
world wide established reputation as
a “company town”. The visit will cover the recently reconverted industrial areas of the “Spina”, numbered
1 to 4 from south to north including
the 19th century buildings of Officine
Grandi Riparazioni and the former
Carceri Nuove, the new railway station of Porta Susa and the tower designed by Renzo Piano, the district
of the former steelworks of Fiat,
Michelin, Savigliano and Paracchi
and the service structure of the Environment Park, the new public park

tours
include visits to buildings of early
20th century architects such as Pietro Fenoglio, Raimondo d’Aronco
and Pietro Gribodo, representatives
of the so called Liberty, the distinctive Italian version of Art Nouveau
that was to provide an alternative
to the well established practices
and codes of late 19th century historicism. Moreover the tour will
continue to a small group of selected buildings of those architects
active in Turin in the 1950s, such
as Sergio Jaretti and Elio Luzi, the
Milanese architectural firm of Bbpr
and the aforementioned Gabetti &
Isola, who by way of their works had
raised the problem of abandoning
the modernist legacy by restoring
the continuity with a tradition founded on exquisite craftsmanship and
a sophisticated research into building techniques and materials. The
tour will include visits to one of the
apartments of Bottega d’Erasmo
complete with the original 1950s
furniture by Gabetti & Isola.

tours
Tour leaders: Alessandro Tosini;
Andrea Longhi
9.00-18.00
(Lunch included)
Legend, literature and architecture
mix together in Val di Susa. The strata francigena, leading to the great
western Sanctuaries of Christendom,
passed through this narrow alpine
valley: this territory was the setting of
Charlemagne’s victory over the Longobard army, as narrated in Alessandro Manzoni’s Adelchi. A short trip to
Avigliana will show the various architectural types (Town Hall, houses of
burgars and merchants, churches),
which characterized the life of a late
64
medieval and early modern settlement on a main trade route, controlled by the castle. The sight which
can be enjoyed from the defensive
structure (now ruined, yet still impressive) invites the visitor towards
the Sacra di San Michele (the Abbey
of St. Michael) and its millennial history: founded in the Second half of
the 10th century, it underwent a long
sequence of transformations until Alfredo De Andrade’s restorations at
the end of the 19th century, and even
beyond. The path along Val di Susa
religious heritage is completed by the
visit to the church and hospital of the
Antoniani canons, Sant’Antonio di
Ranverso, one of the best examples
of 15th century Gothic architecture in
Piedmont.
Ascanio Vitozzi, Carlo and Amedeo
di Castellamonte, Guarino Guarini,
Michelangelo Garove, Filippo Juvarra, Bernardo Vittone, Benedetto
Alfieri, and Francesco Gallo. These
buildings range from rich churches and palaces for court figures
through spectacular parish or convent churches achieved with modest
means to representative town halls
or charitable hospitals. Characterized by Pommer as “open architecture’, the works embody issues of
patronage, design, and theory that

of development marked on one side
by the transformation of the production and on the other by an intense
season of design activities and sociological surveys involving an impressive number of architects, designers
and planners, as well as intellectuals
and technicians. During the second
half of the 20th century, through
the debates inaugurated by Adriano
Olivetti’s L’Ordine Politico delle Comunità (1945), the construction
of Ivrea started to be regarded as
the icon and manifesto of the communitarian policies: Ivrea’s buildings
hosting the Olivetti facilities and
plants became the testing ground
of an unprecedented experiment in
design and urbanism where the architectural culture was tightly interwoven with the ideal of a community.
In most recent years, characterized
by further changes in the company’s
structure, the culture of the factory
and its architectures still remain
the focus of the renovation policies
of Ivrea, as exemplified by the recent candidature of this town to the
Unesco World Heritage list. Visits
to the main industrial buildings, the
Olivetti facilities, the social services
and the residential neighbourhoods
will serve as an introduction to the
most significant moments of the
construction of the city, as well as to
the encounter between the entrepreneurial culture and the coeval Italian
architectural and urban discourse.
Visits to the Associazione Archivio

Between Production and Representation
Edited by Davide Deriu, Krystallia Kamvasinou and Eugenie Shinkle, University of Westminster, UK
21st Century Lighting
Design - by Alyn Griffiths
Drawing on the synergies between the fields of architecture and photography, this collection takes a multidisciplinary
approach, combining practice-based research with scholarly essays. It explores and critically reassesses the interface
between representation – the imaginary and symbolic shaping of the human environment – and production – the
physical and material changes wrought on the land. At a time of environmental crisis and the ‘end of nature, ’shifting
geopolitical boundaries and economic downturn, Emerging Landscapes reflects on the state of landscape and its
future, mapping those practices that creatively address the boundaries between possibility, opportunity and action
in imagining and shaping landscape.
This carefully curated survey provides a strong critical framework for
understanding lighting design from
the perspectives of sustainability,
technology, form and structure.

contemporary narratives, and grass-root
initiatives. It investigates the notion of agency
of media in the city and, in return, what the
