First-ever monograph on Carlo Mollino as
an architect
Demonstrates Mollino’s prowess in architectural
design
Based on extensive new research and drawing
on rich archival material
Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished
images, plans, drawings, and documents
Today, Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905–73) is known chiefly for his
furniture designs and his erotic Polaroid photography of the 1960s. Much less attention
has so far been given to his architecture. Albeit relatively small, his built work constitutes
a seminal contribution to modernism, uniquely marked by a strong relationship
with Surrealism.
This new book is the long overdue tribute to this extraordinary exponent of 20th-century
architecture. It features a selection of his key designs, both built and unrealized
through images and reproductions of previously unpublished plans, drawings, and
documents alongside scholarly essays.

A groundbreaking new study on the
Vkhutemas and their pioneering curriculum
Highlights the Vkhutemas’s advanced explorative
pedagogic approach and demonstrates
the lasting significance of the Vkhutemas
legacy
Based on research in previously inaccessible
archives and featuring previously unpublished
images and documents
Throughout the 1920s, the Higher Art and Technical Studios in Moscow, known as
Vkhutemas, translated avant-garde experiments in art, architecture, and design into
a systematized pedagogy. The Vkhutemas’ educational program initiated a new type
of pedagogy, taking an explorative approach and drawing its strength from continuous
feedback and exchange between students and educators, including luminaries such as
Nikolai Ladovsky, Alexander Rodchenko, and El Lissitzky.
This book explores the nature of the Vkhutemas’ curriculum to demonstrate how
this challenged established academic tradition by replacing it with open-ended inquiry
and how this became articulated within a system of design exercises and advanced
pro jects.
