"Architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909-1969) was a towering figure in twentieth-century
Italian architecture. Through the work of his collaborative firm (Banfi Belgiojoso
Peressutti Rogers, or BBPR), who were responsible for many of the most influential
Italian projects of the time, and through the editorship of publications such as Domus
and Casabella, Rogers ensured a lasting influence on the field. However his contributions
have been largely neglected by scholarship, or more recently have had only superficial
understandings attached to them. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern
Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked
modernist architects, this book will re-assess Ernesto Nathan Rogers' cultural legacy.
It will be the first comprehensive, critical work on Rogers in English, and will emphasize
Rogers' vision for the role of the architect as a public intellectual, as well as
his commitment to pursue a renewed path of professional and cultural research within
the "Modern Project." The book also discusses Rogers' willingness to challenge academic
classicized monumentality and the fascist administration to emerge as a leader of
Italian design in the aftermath of World War II; his focus on urban design as well
as planning; tradition in modernity; history and vernacular culture; and national
identity, to bring a detailed account of the work and thought of Ernesto Nathan Rogers
to an English-speaking audience for the first time. With a foreword by Kenneth Frampton"
