Organized in a sequence of critical chapters supported by the analysis of Portoghesi’s most significant architectural projects – including Casa Baldi (1959), The Mosque in Rome (1975–95) and his Strada Novissima exhibition (1980) – and publications, the book unfolds around the three main themes of history, politics and media. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished as part of the \u003ci\u003eBloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, the study features previously-unpublished archival material, interviews by the authors and articles from professional and mainstream press to present Portoghesi in his multifaceted role of mediator, politician, historian and designer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41036693143649,"sku":"9781350117136","price":100.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28014535.jpg?v=1722242543","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350117136-bsma-paolo-portoghesi","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
