Giuseppe Terragni, an influential proponent of modernism in Italian
architecture and design in the 1920s and 1930s, translated the visual
vocabulary of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe into what became known
as the Rationalist School of Architecture. This monograph covers his
later years (he died in 1943), with a focus on the war and his
devastating experience as a soldier. It includes some notable projects
from the 1930s like the Casa del Fascio in Como, and the designs for an
unrealised final project for a cathedral that he did in the days before
his death. The book is illustrated with historical photographs and
includes letters Terragni wrote from the front.
