Interpreting specialised buildings

摘要

Twenty years after the publication of Studi per una operante storia urbana di Venezia (Muratori 1959), Gianfranco Caniggia and Gian Luigi Maffei published another book that was fundamental to the process-typological approach to urban morphology and to the field itself, Lettura dell 'edilizia di base: Composizione architettonica e tipologia edilizia (Caniggia and Maffei, 1979). It was followed by two related books, one on the analysis and design of basic buildings by Caniggia and Maffei (1984) and the other on the reading of specialized buildings by Maffei and Maffei (2011).
