Incompiuto – The Birth of a Style

Un inventaire des ruines contemporaines : résultat de dix ans de recherches de terrain, Incompiuto présente une étude collective pionnière consacrée au phénomène des constructions abandonnées en Italie. L'ouvrage comprend des contributions de Salvatore Settis, Robert Storr, Marc Augé, Paul Virilio, Antonio Ricci, Marco Biraghi ou encore Gabriele Basilico (nouvelle édition augmentée et révisée).

Incompiuto: The Birth of a Style is the first and only study—the result of ten years of fieldwork—of a phenomenon frequently discussed in our country and yet still not fully acknowledged: the nationwide presence of buildings and infrastructures of which the implementation has never been completed.
The scope of this phenomenon, its spread across the territory and its incredible architectural peculiarities together make the Incompiuto the most prominent Italian architectural style since WWII. At least this is the thesis proposed – in a provocative yet faultless manner—by the workgroup of individuals who over recent years have put together thousands of images, sifting through hundreds of reported exemplars throughout the nation, starting out from Sicily before making their way up the peninsula.
The publication, edited by Alterazioni Video and Fosbury Architecture, also features major text contributions offering a range of takes on the phenomenon. These include writings by: Salvatore Settis, Robert Storr, Marc Augé, Paul Virilio, Antonio Ricci, Marco Biraghi and Gabriele Basilico.

Nouvelle édition de l'ouvrage publié en 2018 (ISBN 978-88-99385-46-0), lauréat du FILAF d'or 2019 du meilleur livre sur l'art.
