Abstract

Halfway through the 20th century, the Italian industrial buildings within the Adriano Olivetti’s communitas obtain a continuously more defined expressiveness, which join the awareness of the functional aspects, a harmonic renovation of the environmental conditions and a reestablished human dimension. The composition scheme of the estate in Pozzuoli, planned by L. Cosenza, denies the industry idea itself in which all functions are focused. On the contrary, realizes a open set on urban scale, integrated at the surrounding context. As well as the factory in Caserta, planned by M. Zanuso and E. Vittoria, responds to the new demands of humanezed industrial culture. Olivetti’s factories are born from the consideration of architecture according to which it represents a useful instrument for ethical and social revolution; to a greater extent the industrial one, lived by the working man, which is always considered with respect, because he is the main actor in the chain of progress, the protagonist of future civilization.
