Milano: sviluppo urbano, cultura architettonica e trasformazioni del costruito

Santa Maria delle Grazie a Milano

Ecco, a grande richiesta, i miei famigerati appunti sul saggio di Maurizio Boriani "Sviluppo urbano, cultura architettonica e trasformazioni del costruito (1861 – 1918)" pubblicato in Milano Contemporanea (prima edizione 1986, Designers Riuniti Editori, Torino; ristampa 2006, Libreria Clup Soc. Coop., Milano). Il libro, piuttosto interessante, racchiude anche saggi di Augusto Rossari e Corinna Monardi ed una serie di percorsi architettonici all’interno della mia bella città. La tesi di fondo del testo, come tutti sanno, sembra essere "Milano l’ha rovinata la destra". Trovo la posizione poco condivisibile: la sta rovinando tutt’ora.


Indice del saggio:
1. Il quadro urbano alla metà del XIX secolo
2. La riorganizzazione del centro, i restauri e il riuso dell’esistente
3. Un piano per la riproduzione della città capitalista
4. I tipi edilizi della residenza privata
5. La residenza di iniziativa pubblica e i servizi collettivi
6. Cultura architettonica e immagine della città
7. Tutela (e distruzione) del patrimonio architettonico e ambientale

Isaac Asimov’s Ring Around the Sun

This is, without any doubt, one of the best collections in the series, and notably one with aliens of many sorts: Martians and Venusians with a different approach to warfare and radically original new senses, and Ganimedians who just want what’s due for Christmas. What

As I was saying a few days ago, some of Cixin Liu’s short stories have been adapted into wonderful graphic novels. This one is a heartfelt story that touches many topics that are dear to the author’s heart, mainly the importance of knowledge and the
