Abstract
In the field of public housing, it is only right to reserve a space of no small importance for Stefania Filo Speziale to contextualise her work. The professional saw the design of working-class neighbourhoods (from Capodichino to Agnano, from Canzanella-Soccavo to Rione Traiano) as a great opportunity for experimentation research, particularly working for the INA-Casa. A reflection on “form”, such as the rotation of the balconies – a recognisable stylistic feature on the façades – aimed at avoiding conformity in the new “urban landscapes”, not without modernist references, but also aware of the cultural orientation during the 1950s in its organicist component.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
