La prima impressione è quella che conta, soprattutto a Milano. In questo viaggio fotografico senza precedenti, il curatore Karl Kolbitz varca la soglia di 144 degli ingressi più sontuosi della città, che incantano per varietà e splendore. Questi esuberanti ingressi milanesi, finora ben nascosti dietro facciate dall’aspetto spesso sobrio, si rivelano straordinari esempi di modernismo italiano, in bilico tra spazio pubblico e privato grazie a vivaci configurazioni formali e cromatiche, dall’accostamento delle pietre sui pavimenti alle geometria minimalista delle pitture murali.
Il volume comprende edifici costruiti tra il 1920 e il 1970 e illustra l’opera di alcuni dei più celebri architetti e designer milanesi, tra cui Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi e Luigi Caccia Dominioni, come pure strutture meno note ma non per questo meno affascinanti e interessanti. Le immagini, appositamente commissionate a Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini e Matthew Billings, catturano l’atmosfera degli ambienti con una sensibilità personale e uno stile in cui i singoli dettagli (come pietre, maniglie e corrimano) interagiscono con spazi architettonici più ampi.
Alle immagini si accompagnano preziosi contributi editoriali di Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish e Grazia Signori, che con grande perizia in materia di architettura, design e pietre naturali guidano il lettore alla scoperta dei materiali e degli arredi utilizzati, come pure delle implicazioni storico-artistiche e sociali di ciascun ingresso. Il volume, in parte guida architettonica della città e in parte saggio di estetica, fornisce per ogni ingresso l’indirizzo esatto e una mappa commentata di Milano, come pure il nome dell’architetto e la data di costruzione.
Nel campo ben documentato del design italiano del XX secolo, Kolbitz ha inaugurato un settore d’indagine sul modernismo milanese del tutto nuovo. Per il rigore e la varietà della ricerca, la compostezza delle fotografie e la vastità degli ingressi presentati, questo volume non costituisce solo un’opera di consultazione nuova e corroborante, ma offre anche uno sguardo intimo al DNA del design cittadino dall’architettura di lusso a quella popolare.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city's most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained facades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry. The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city's most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively shot by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility and a stylistic interplay of detail shots-such as stones, door handles, and handrails-with larger architectural views. The images are accompanied by concise contributions from Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish, and Grazia Signori, together bringing a wealth of architecture, design, and natural stone expertise to guide the reader through the applied materials and fittings as well as the art-historical and social implications of each of the ingressi. As much an architectural city guide as an aesthetic study, the book provides the exact address and an annotated Milan map for all featured entryways, as well as the architect name and date of construction.
