Piedmont Architecture

This guide documents significant 20th-century architecture in Piedmont in a chronological range (from the 1902 Exposition of Decorative Arts to the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin) and provides the reader with a precise viewpoint for analysis: great events are seen as a stimulus and opportunity for confirmation for Turin and Piedmont and a moment for comparison with other architects and traditions. The Guide provides an unusual and alternative description of the city, signalling public and private `temporary living spaces`, selected and interpreted according to criteria that at times favour a named interior design, at others a `spontaneous` but stimulating furnishing arrangement, at others again episodes of artistic contamination. Not all the best-known places, therefore, but
those that are less known, to bring to the eyes of tourists - but also to those of the city`s inhabitants - who want to discover the more unusual aspects of a post-industrial metropolis.
