NAPOLI SUPER MODERN
Everyone seems ‘to know’ Naples, even those who have never been there: its setting, its sounds, its people, its tastes, its informality and, not least, its stories, shaped by the fervour with which the inhabitants live this city. As numerous as these narratives are reproduced in literature, music, or film, countless stories about eras, styles, and uses also overlap in the city's architecture. To avoid being drawn in by stereotypes, guides are needed to decipher this delightful cacophony.
There's nothing like a climate crisis to sharpen the mind. But how strong is our resolve when it comes to a consistent and meaningful approach to sustainability in architecture and design? We attempt to put the world to rights with renowned offices BIG, Gensler, AHMM and Atelier Luma, taking the temperature on a very hot topic.
