PROJECT
The Census of Italian Architectures from 1945 to the present, promoted by DGCC, is focused on a whole category of architectures between post-World War II and the current times. Atlas of Contemporary Architecture aims to focus on a selection of the architectures surveyed by the Census, presenting specific thematic itineraries illustrated with original photographs.
The selection was carried out according to a criterion of distribution on the national territory and intended to represent each region. This principle sometimes meant excluding masterpieces, to give space to interesting regional realities, in the spirit of the project’s purpose, which intends to describe all of Italy.
