Sinossi

Labics is a rising Rome-based architectural firm that has gained great international acclaim in recent years for both its projects and its submissions to major competitions. Its guiding principle is the idea of &;structure.&; Each of the firm&;s projects&;which range from housing and office buildings to museums, cultural centers, schools, subway stations, and public spaces&;is intended to exemplify the importance of the respective type of structure.
           
Labics&;Structures is the first book on Labics&;s remarkable and rapidly growing body of work. It is arranged in four chapters that explore the idea of structure in different contexts: Geometric, Bearing, Circulation, and Public Space Structures. Alongside topical essays, it features twenty projects selected by the firm&;s founding directors, Maria Claudia Clemente and Francesco Isidori, to represent the diversity of the firm&;s work, as well as its wide geographic reach&;with buildings in Italy, Finland, Switzerland, England, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Each project is documented with atmospheric photographs and a wealth of plans and diagrams to illustrate concepts and details.
