This anthology closes that gap. Edited by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Jolanda Devalle, Theodora Giovanazzi and Marson Korbi, it runs from 1964 — the year Tafuri committed himself exclusively to architectural history — to his death in 1994, and its range is startling: the critique of architectural ideology under capitalist development, the internal contradictions of the Soviet avant-garde, urban strategy in Renaissance Italy, the planning politics of social democracy. Essays on Giulio Romano, Palladio, Borromini, Piranesi, Aldo Rossi and Carlo Scarpa sit alongside a biographical essay by Tafuri's wife, Letizia Rapisarda. It is the first volume in a series produced with the Laboratory of Theory and Project of Domestic Space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1,200 pages of essays and interviews spanning Tafuri's full working life, 1964–1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Jolanda Devalle, Theodora Giovanazzi and Marson Korbi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost texts translated into English for the first time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays on Giulio Romano, Andrea Palladio, Francesco Borromini, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Aldo Rossi and Carlo Scarpa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA biographical essay by Letizia Rapisarda, and more than 700 images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTafuri's critique of architectural ideology and its entanglement with capitalist development, developed across three decades rather than fixed in one famous text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis readings of the Soviet avant-garde, and the contradictions he locates inside its revolutionary claims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Renaissance essays — Romano, Palladio, Borromini, Piranesi — that dismantle the idea of a golden age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the interviews shift register from the written work, and what Tafuri says plainly there that the essays approach obliquely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManfredo Tafuri (1935–1994) was an Italian architect, historian and critic whose work reshaped architectural history as a discipline.
