Student and young architects--all foreigners with refreshingly little knowledge of contemporary trends in Italian architecture--were invited to create plans for the renovation of the Italian
city Como. Photographs of existing buildings and scenes, drawings, and visual projections accompany text explaining what they, what it meant to them, and what they would like to do with it.
Their perspectives include the completion of Four Piazze, Como's urban form and architectural language, the falsification of history, the future for "Sinigallia," and the Lario Lakefront
between tradition and innovation. Parallel columns present Italian and English. No index is provided. First distributed in the US by International Publishers Marketing in 2010. Annotation 穢2010
