Gianluca Peluffo

An architect and a critic discuss what unites them, common reasoning that gives rise to a dialogue that establishes a link between buildings, built or just thought of, and images taken from the artistic tradition, mainly Italian. The result is a presentation of Peluffo & Partners’ architecture seen through the spaces, bodies and figures drawn from suggestions from the world of art, ancient and contemporary, cinema and architecture itself. The volume includes shots by Ernesta Caviola, who has consistently photographed the architecture of Peluffo & Partners and collaborated in the fine-tuning of the images.

"Monograph.it" is at the same time monography and review, it follows an original criterium of pictures' itinerary. In fact "monograph.it" devotes to architecture's study of several pages with complete contents. Moreover there will be a gallery of pictures of places, buildings, landscapes together with a monographic section for one or more cities in evolution; therefore conceiving present urban places and landscapes as necessary and permanent elements of the project. The choice of such contents is aimed at surveying the different developments of the project production in the range of the different scales. The genovese architetcure office 5+1AA is the protagonist of the first issue of the "monograph.it" with the exhaustive atlas of drawings and architectural stills, and furthermore the European 16 creative city', and finally the photo gallery dedicated to the stills of the Nunzio Battaglia italian photographer.
