About this title

Synopsis

Italian architect Umberto Riva (1928–2021) was also an accomplished designer and painter. A student of Carlo Scarpa, he inherited an artistic and artisanal attitude, a taste for open forms, and a sensitivity for an operational scale that extends from the material detail to the landscape. His work ranges from designing objects and lamps to urban housing projects and exhibition installations. This book is conceived as an anthology with an elucidating series of critical essays taken from out-of-print books. A collaboration with the architect’s personal archive and with the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal allowed the retrieval and presentation of his sketches and drawings.

About the Author

Maria Bottero (n�e en 1932), architecte, a �t� professeur titulaire � l'�cole polytechnique de Milan. De 1963 � 1974, elle a �t� r�dactrice en chef de la revue internationale d'architecture Zodiac, fond�e par Adriano Olivetti.

Architecte, designer et peintre, Umberto Riva (1928-2021) est l'un des ma�tres de l'architecture italienne. �l�ve de Carlo Scarpa, Riva a h�rit� de ce dernier une approche artistique et artisanale du projet, un go�t pour les formes ouvertes ainsi qu'une sensibilit� � une �chelle op�ratoire qui s'�tend du d�tail au paysage. Son œuvre couvre un large spectre, allant du design d'objets aux projets de logements urbains, en passant par des b�timents publics et priv�s, la sc�nographie d'exposition et la peinture.
