Description

This volume studies the architecture and urbanism of up to date-era Italian colonialism (1869-1943) as it sought to build colonies in North and East Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Mia Fuller follows, not only the design of the physical architecture, but in addition the improvement of colonial design theory, in accordance with the assumptions made concerning the colonized, and in addition the application of modernist theory to both Italian architecture and that of its colonies.

Moderns Abroad is the primary book to provide an overview of Italian colonial architecture and city planning. In chronicling Italian architects’ attempts to define a distinctly Italian colonial architecture that would set Italy aside from Britain and France, it provides a uniquely comparative study of Italian colonialism and architecture for you to be of interest to specialists in up to date architecture, colonial studies, and Italian studies alike.
