This article traces the extraordinary architectural production of the Roman branch of the Istituto Case Popolari (Institute of Public Housing, ICP) during the period between 1925 and 1930. This was the most prolific and creative period in the history of the Institute, delivering a rich portfolio of distinctive public housing projects in and around Rome with modest means and against the backdrop of a severe housing crisis. It was also the period when a single architect, Innocenzo Sabbatini, left his creative mark on the most significant of the Institute's executed projects. Under Sabbatini's creative lead, the ICP sought to advance a distinctive, coherent vision for public housing while also producing a singular architectural language that was both modern and unmistakably ‘situated’ in the traditions and the ambience of Rome. I examine the three arguably most innovative ICP projects of this period bearing Sabbatini's signature: theAlbergo Rossoin Garbatella; the so-calledCasa del Solein Tiburtino; and the unrealizedTrionfale Nuovoproject. Through these three projects, I seek to trace a fascinatingly singular Roman road to architectural modernism that pre-dated the ‘heroic’ phase ofrazionalismoin Rome during the early 1930s but has been largely redacted from the narratives of modernist architecture.

罗马通往现代主义的独特道路：INNOCENZO SABBATINI 和 ISTITUTO CASE POPOLARI (ICP) 的“根”架构，1925-1930

本文追溯了 Istituto Case Popolari（公共住房研究所，ICP）罗马分部在 1925 年至 1930 年间非凡的建筑作品。这是该研究所历史上最多产和最具创造性的时期，提供了丰富的在严重的住房危机的背景下，以适度的方式在罗马及其周边地区推出独特的公共住房项目组合。也是在那个时期，一位建筑师 Innocenzo Sabbatini 在研究所执行的最重要的项目上留下了他的创意印记。在 Sabbatini 的创意领导下，ICP 力求为公共住房提出一个独特、连贯的愿景，同时也创造出一种独特的建筑语言，既现代又明确地“位于”罗马的传统和氛围中。阿尔伯格罗索酒店在加巴特拉；所谓的卡萨德尔索尔在蒂布蒂诺；和未实现的Trionfale Nuovo项目。通过这三个项目，我试图追溯一条引人入胜的独特的罗马道路，通往建筑现代主义，早于“英雄”阶段。理性主义1930 年代初期在罗马，但在很大程度上已从现代主义建筑的叙述中删去。
