Italian High Design and High Technology

Italian know-how is hard to copy. Starting from this somewhat functional premise, some sections of the Expo Shanghai exhibition 2010 were based on Italian architecture and cities: existing, preserved, recovered and restored buildings, industry and manufacturing as well as technologies for mobility, movement, residences, park environments, eco-sustainability, energy and well-being. This book illustrates the presence of Italian architecture with an original gallery of projects and buildings, selected by the Italian Association of Engineering, Architectural and Technical-Economic Consulting Organizations (OICE).
