CIAM 1949+70. Eredità, prospettive, programmi

The book is based on the reflections developed during the CIAM 1949-2019 conference held in Bergamo seventy years after the seventh CIAM International Congress of Modern Architecture, also held in Bergamo in 1949. The contemporary reinterpretation of the founding themes of CIAM 1949 takes on the strong ideals and design tensions that ran through it: tensions and confidence in shaping the future that represent the greatest lesson of the CIAM season. The range of contributions represents a fresco of the themes and challenges open to urban design today, faced with the classic dilemma: to innovate or succumb.
