Between the Design Week in Stockholm and Nomad Circle in St. Moritz, February is also a month full of events for designers, creatives, journalists and lovers of architecture and design.
Even in the bookshop, where we went hunting for the latest news. Among many, here are five precious books to immerse yourself in the architecture, interiors and objects of different spaces (and authors), public or private. But also to reflect on the meaning of architectural restoration and how a project is, always, a form of story.
1. Seven houses, seven stories, by Filippo Caprioglio, edited by Alessia Delisi (Linea editore, 38 euros)
This volume, just released in bookshops, recounts 20 years of work by the Venetian architect Filippo Caprioglio, edited by the journalist Alessia Delisi and with a preface by the architecture critic Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi.
A rich book-interview that traces seven projects from 2006 to today (including two under construction) and which, through Caprioglio's words - but also those of the clients - reels off the intimate story of what happens when you design a home. From Venice to Veneto to Romania, each house also represents the stage of a journey that goes from the beginning to the awards and recognitions received by Caprioglio.
Who will like it Who wants to understand through which paths a home project can arise. Which, before being a building, is above all a place of the soul.
