Scritti di Sandra Suatoni, Tomiaki Tamura, Antonietta Iolanda Lima, Marco Felici, Elvira Peduto, Manfredi Nicoletti," Published on the occasion of the exhibition in Rome, Palazzo Fontana di Trevi, MAXXI, Casa dell'Architettura, 8 October 2005 - 8 January 2006. From the dust jacket: "Paolo Soleri si è posto sull'Aventino rispetto alla cultura architettonica ufficiale, ma il suo Aventino è attivo, quasi esplosivo... Nell'arco di oltre cinquant'anni Soleri ha prodotto un corpus grafico straordinario per ampiezza complessità, nel quale si è riversata un'inventiva inesausta… innovativo ed attualissimo per le sue implicazioni ecologiche. Dedicare un volume alla sua opera grafica significa riconoscere e sancire il valore autonomo di questi disegni, il cui significato 'travalica il semplice ruolo di supporto alla progettazione' per diventare strumento di progressiva messa a fuoco di una coerente visione del rapporto uomo-ambiente attraverso lo spazio architettonico." Paolo Soleri has placed himself on the Aventine Hill with respect to the official architectural culture, but his Aventine Hill is active, almost explosive... Over the course of more than fifty years Soleri has produced an extraordinary graphic corpus for its breadth and complexity, into which he has poured an inexhaustible inventiveness… innovative and very topical for its ecological implications. Dedicating a volume to his graphic work means recognizing and sanctioning the independent value of these drawings, whose meaning 'goes beyond the simple role of supporting design' to become a tool for progressively focusing on a coherent vision of the man-environment relationship through the architectural space.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
