Modern architecture - Sauze d'Oulx

In Sauze d'Oulx, the architect Gino Levi Montalcini built the Maroc and Ballerini villas in 1947, now destroyed and more visible. He reinterprets the theme of the mountain house in the revisitant of modern fashion.

These projects feature an important conceptual passage that characterizes modern architecture in the Western Alps: also part of the adherence to purist canons of international rationalist style, also renewed attention to local construction traditions It is installed through a source of the typical characteristics of rural mountain architecture. This evening will be reprised and developed in depth by the architect
Carlo Mollino.As the history of Daniele Vitale's architecture has been written, modern architecture, starting from the comparison with the Alpine territory, looking at a new approach, here re-elaborates the tradition through a modern language, renonçant à la fois à la mimesis au paysage et à la tradition et à une reclamation exaspérée pour le nouveau.
