Author Description

"Ambitious, charismatic, and reliable, never conformist or conventional, Luigi Moretti (1907-1973) was both a gifted architect and an unusual figure. This book - the first monograph on the Italian architect to appear in English - reveals through essays, projects, and an anthology of his own writings the complex trails of Moretti's personality and of his curious and cultured mind. Generously illustrated, the volume encourages a full appreciation of his work, free of the presumptions that for decades have clouded it."--BOOK JACKET.
