A great Ruskin book that is better listened to than read because of the complexity and detail of his writing.

Le città europee sono più di un luogo fisico, più della somma dei loro edifici, sono l'esito di una "intenzione estetica" che nasce dalla quotidianità dei cittadini. Marco Romano ripercorre le origini storiche di questa lunga ricerca della bellezza, individuando così il contributo fondamentale, sebbene poco raccontato, che le donne hanno dato a questo sviluppo. È stato infatti l'intuito e il desiderio femminile a suggerire ieri come oggi molte soluzioni che hanno dato forma alle nostre città, dalle capitali ai villaggi.

No writer followed the building of the Freedom Tower more closely than Esquire’s Scott Raab. Between 2005 and 2015, Raab published a landmark 10-part series about the construction. He shadowed both the suits in their boardrooms and the hardhats in their earthmoving equipment, and chronicled it all in exquisite prose. While familiar names abound - Andrew Cuomo, Chris Christie, Mike Bloomberg and Larry Silverstein, the real estate developer who only a few weeks before 9/11 signed a 99-year, $3.2 billion lease on the World Trade Center - just as memorable are the not-so-famous.

Per quale motivo tutti, o quasi tutti, vogliono vivere in città? Le possibili risposte sono molte. Livio Sacchi, da architetto, è convinto che il principale motivo per cui le città piacciono così tanto sia sostanzialmente uno solo: in città ci si sente e si è più liberi che altrove. Affrancando le identità dei singoli dalle aspettative familiari e sociali e permettendo a chi vi abita di provare a diventare ciò che vuole, le città consentono qualcosa di molto prossimo all'autodeterminazione del proprio essere.

A self-professed "comprehensive anticipatory design scientist", the inventor Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was undoubtedly a visionary. Fuller's creations often bordered on the realm of science fiction, ranging from the freestanding geodesic dome to the three-wheel Dymaxion car to a bathroom requiring neither plumbing nor sewage. Yet in spite of his brilliant mind and lifelong devotion to serving mankind, Fuller's expansive ideas were often dismissed, and have faded from public memory since his death.
