African Trajectories of Pier Luigi Nervi’s Engineering Office
View through CrossRef
Micaela Antonucci and Gabriele Neri's book offers for the first time an overview of the projects that Pier Luigi Nervi's Italian engineering office designed and built in post-colonial African countries between 1964 and 1980. Through the detailed description of some major works, the text shows how the "Nervi System" gradually became a stylistic language, leaving behind the relationship between architectural and structural forms that had characterized Nervi's well-known projects.
