Omschrijving

To study Gio Ponti's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations unfold intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare ability to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as that of an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his legacy endures as a landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist ideals it sought to realize.

Compact yet comprehensive, this volume traces the evolution of Ponti's oeuvre over six decades, presenting more than sixty projects reproduced in high resolution--each framed by the context in which it was conceived. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery reveal new dialogues between his celebrated masterpieces and lesser-known works. The book features writings by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. Conceived in close collaboration with Ponti's grandson, Salvatore Licitra, founder of the Gio Ponti Archives, it offers an intimate and authentic perspective on the architect's life and work. Embodying Ponti's philosophy of modernity, the book presents architecture as a performing object--a self-illuminating stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.
