Ivano Gianola, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, Lugano: Opus 78

Ivano Gianola is one of the founding members of the so-called Ticino School. Like the other significant figures of this legendary school he is primarily concerned with the urbanistic and architectural quality of building in the Canton of Ticino.

This volume tries to decipher not only the obvious and hidden urban-planning aspects of this major project but also its multilayered formal esthetic and haptic connotations. Thereby the book pays tribute to a high point of contemporary Ticino architecture and to Ivano Gianola’s late masterpiece.
