This is the first book in English about the Italian architects Mario Asnago (1896-1981) and Claudio Vender (1904-1986). Their city was the transforming Milan of the mid-20th century, and the extraordinary architectural scene of that time is revealed in their works and through the writings of their contemporaries. Cino Zucchi and Adam Caruso provide in-depth analyses of the conceptual and material qualities of the buildings, illustrated through plans and photographs of a selection of Asnago Vender's urban projects. The book is the second in a series about the boundaries of modernity - a forgotten generation of European architects.
