Forays beyond the Modern – The Architecture of Umberto Riva

The book is conceived as an anthology in which the texts of the author Maria Bottero open and close a series of critical essays taken from out-of-print books. It is a mixture of early and more contemporary essays, with the aim of offering a range of critical evolutions around the italian architect Umberto Riva as wide as possible.A precious collaboration with the architect's personal archive and with the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal allowed to retrieve and present his sketches and drawings to the public.
