Giancarlo de Carlo: Experiments in Thickness
Giancarlo de Carlo: Experiments in Thickness is part of the 'Everything without Content' series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac, and Joris Kritis. It presents the work Giancarlo de Carlo built in Urbino in the 1960s and 70s, set against the backdrop of his involvement in Team 10 debates that challenged modernist doctrines on architecture and urbanism.
Giancarlo de Carlo first visited Urbino in 1951 to carry out a minor refurbishment of the offices of the rector of the University. This visit marked the beginning of his lifetime engagement with the small town, where he continued working for the next five decades. The eight buildings featured in this book are depicted through drawings by students of the Academy of Architecture USI, Mendrisio, and photographs by Stefano Graziani.
