1928-2018. Ninety years of Casabella.
This is the title of the project realized for the important goal of the magazine that represents a reference in the editorial panorama on the one hand for its contents, linked to architecture and design, and on the other for its formal aspect, in the field of visual communication.
The intent of the volume is to convey the culture of design in a broad sense: architectural design and graphic design. To fully express the essence of Casabella, in a volume made to be read but also observed in its graphic expression.
"Design is one!" is Vignelli's famous motto at the base of the concept: regardless of the scale of intervention and the two or three-dimensionality, design is "one", and unites the different disciplines.
The idea is to show the analogies between graphic and architectural language, creating a parallelism between the two.
The content covers the great designers who have marked the history of the magazine since 1928, as well as the history of international architecture.
These contents are alternated by detachment pages in which quotes from designers but also critics and philosophers are reported, significant to capture the features that unite graphic and architectural design.

«Architecture, like other creative forms, touches only the souls predisposed to investigate the suggestions and expectations offered by the construction of space.»
