The façade designs by architects Mario Asnago (1896–1981) and Claudio Vender (1904–1986) give numerous streets in Milan a face. They model the exterior space so that it takes on a dwelling character comparable to an interior space. With their elegant facades, characterised by formal restraint but at the same time by great inventiveness, Asnago Vender’s buildings rhythmise the appearance of the streets. Giulio Bettini describes and analyses the volumetric, architectural and constructive means used by Asnago Vender and relates them to the urban tradition of Milan and the urban art of the 20th century.

The Italian edition of this publication is published under the title La città animata, Milano e l’architettura di Asnago Vender by Libraccio Editore in Milan. > LInk
