"Giuseppe Pizzigoni, an architect of classical and postwar modernism in northern Italy, owes his reputation to his connections with the Novecento movement, his independence from fascism, and his interest in innovative residential layouts. This study presents for the first time the architect's entire built work, comprised of not only residential structures but also sacral buildings, monuments, educational and industrial buildings. Pizzigoni's experimental spirit drove him to create original designs across diverse fields of architecture, typology and forms of living, construction systems and load-bearing structures, geometry and aesthetics. Each of the approx. 60 works is described through the plans of the building, an axonometric view and detailed drawings, all of which have been redrawn for this publication"--
