This thesis is about the subject of architecture in the mountains, with particular focus on the Italian western and central Alps and on the historical period between the end of the XIX century and the 1980’s. Mountain architecture is not only tied to the particular geographical context and to the material conditions it has to obey; it has become an important theoretical question and a matter of imagination. It has been an opportunity for intense ideological construction, rich in consequences and implications. The thesis takes into account a series of contexts and specific projects, subjecting them to rigid analysis and close examination, but it also reconstructs the general sense and the thought content of research on mountain architectures. On one hand, therefore, it is a study carried out with an analytic method; on the other hand, it’s an attempt to start from the theme of mountain architecture and then to propose once again a series of general and fundamental questions about research in architecture.
La tesi riguarda il tema dell’architettura di montagna, con particolare attenzione alle Alpi italiane centro-occidentali e al periodo storico compreso tra la fine dell’Ottocento e gli anni ottanta del Novecento. L’architettura di montagna non è legata solo alla particolarità del contesto geografico e delle condizioni materiali cui deve obbedire; è diventata una questione teorica e d’immaginazione di grande rilievo. È stata occasione di una costruzione ideologica intensa e ricca di controversie, diventando un terreno di sperimentazione pieno di conseguenze e ricadute. La tesi considera contesti e progetti precisi, sottoponendoli ad analisi rigorosa e a disamina attenta; ma non si limita a questo, ricostruendo il senso generale e il contenuto di pensiero della ricerca sulle architetture montane. Per un verso, dunque, uno studio condotto con metodo analitico; per un altro, il tentativo di partire dal tema dell’architettura di montagna per riproporre una serie di questioni generali e fondative della ricerca in architettura.

Abstract
This thesis is about the subject of architecture in the mountains, with particular focus on the Italian western and central Alps and on the historical period between the end of the XIX century and the 1980’s. Mountain architecture is not only tied to the particular geographical context and to the material conditions it has to obey; it has become an important theoretical question and a matter of imagination. It has been an opportunity for intense ideological construction, rich in consequences and implications. The thesis takes into account a series of contexts and specific projects, subjecting them to rigid analysis and close examination, but it also reconstructs the general sense and the thought content of research on mountain architectures. On one hand, therefore, it is a study carried out with an analytic method; on the other hand, it’s an attempt to start from the theme of mountain architecture and then to propose once again a series of general and fundamental questions about research in architecture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
