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) & provides the reader with a precise viewpoint for analysis: great events are seen as a stimulus & opportunity for confirmation for Turin & Piedmont & a moment for comparison with other architects & traditions. The Guide provides an unusual & alternative description of the city, signalling public & private `temporary living spaces`, selected & 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.
