Inhaltsangabe

Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca (1904–1993) prägte die architektonische Landschaft Italiens – allem voran Genua – im Wandel der Zeit. Sein Werk entzieht sich jeglicher Kategorisierung und fand, fernab politischer Positionierung, seine Ausprägung in den diversen Stilrichtungen zwischen Monarchie und Republik: von Futurismus bis Neoplastizismus, von faschistischer Rhetorik bis zu Experimenten mit Beton. Diese Monografie rekonstruiert nicht nur die Vergangenheit, sondern vermittelt auch die Relevanz von Morozzo della Roccas Ansätzen für die Gegenwart. Sie zeigt auf, wie sich durch Baukunst ein autonomer Weg und gleichzeitig eine universelle Vision der Welt entwickeln lässt. Anhand seiner bedeutendsten Werke – von Villen und Palazzi über Mehrfamilienhäuser bis zu den INA-Casa-Projekten – zeichnet die Publikation die Geschichte eines Architekten nach, der seiner Zeit voraus war und dessen Einfluss bis heute spürbar ist. Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca (1904–1993) shaped the architectural landscape of Italy – especially Genoa – through changing times. His work is impossible to categor­ise and, without taking any political stance, expressed itself in a variety of styles be­tween the periods of the monarchy and the republic: from futurism to neoplasticism, and from Fascist rhetoric to experiments with concrete. This monograph not only reconstructs the past, but also reveals the present-day ­relevance of Morozzo della Rocca’s approaches. It demonstrates how it is possible to take an autonomous path and simultaneously develop a universal vision of the world through architecture. Presenting his most important works – ranging from villas and palazzi to apartment buildings and his INA Casa projects – this publication traces the story of an architect who was ahead of his time and whose influence is tangible to this day.
