Italy: The Journey of Typology

Italy

The Story

The contemporary discourse on typology holds profound significance for design. What is often referred to as the extraction of historical prototypes is, in fact, a simplification that overlooks its essential meaning. From ancient Rome to Rationalism and Neo-Rationalism, Italian architecture demonstrates the enduring relevance of typology through a wide range of exemplary works.

This journey spans six Italian cities, including Rome, Florence, Venice, Modena, Genoa and Milan, as well as a visit to the Vatican City. Covering projects from classical to modern, the itinerary uses typology as its central thread. You will experience the essence of Italian architecture across eras while exploring typology as a design method that connects historical tradition with contemporary practice.
