Personalising Architecture: The Contribution of Neorealism to Italian Architecture through the INA-Casa Programme (1949–56) Architectural Theory Review Pub Date : 2020-07-30 David Escudero
Abstract After the Second World War, neorealism was fundamental as a spatial register of the time while simultaneously contributing to the creation of a visual culture at a key moment in Italian history.

Against this backdrop, recent

Illuminating The Shadow Canon Architectural Theory Review Pub Date : 2018-05-04 Elizabeth Musgrave
According to Stephen Kite, a “shadow-maker” knows that shadows cast by sunlight, moonlight, and candlelight are different; that “some illuminance is needed to see even the deepest blacks” (255); that “a lightening background ‘blackens’ a dark grey square” (255); that you can carve a block of shadow with light; and that a shadow cast by coloured light is perceived as having a complementary coloured
