Through the work of his collaborative firm (Banfi Belgiojoso Peressutti Rogers, or BBPR), the editorship of publications such as \u003ci\u003eDomus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCasabella\u003c\/i\u003e, and his teaching at the Politecnico in Milan, Rogers ensured a lasting influence on the field as a practitioner, theorist and educator. However his contributions have been largely neglected by scholarship outside of Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished as part of the \u003ci\u003eBloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book re-assesses Ernesto Nathan Rogers' cultural legacy. It is the first comprehensive, critical work on Rogers in English, and emphasizes Rogers' vision for the role of the architect as a public intellectual, as well as his commitment to pursue a renewed path of professional and cultural research within the “Modern Project.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also discusses Roger's willingness to challenge academic classicized monumentality as well as modernist stereotypes, to emerge as a leader of Italian design in the aftermath of World War II; his interest in all scales of design and planning, with a cross-disciplinary mentality; tradition in modernity; and criticality as a mode of practice, to bring a detailed account of the work and thought of Ernesto Nathan Rogers to an English-speaking audience for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a foreword by Kenneth Frampton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350117419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40804359307470,"sku":"9781350117419","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_e92f8bc7-4f3f-4ba2-af47-63f98f295705.jpg?v=1642574576","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350117419","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
