This book analyses the architectural type of the “small building” extensively used during the expansion of Pescara in the second half of the twentieth century. The study discovered that the building type was extensively used in the development of the city centre where it characterizes the city’s contemporary image.

Il volume analizza la tipologia architettonica della palazzina che ha connotato lo sviluppo della città adriatica nel secondo dopoguerra. Lo studio trova numerose corrispondenze con l’evoluzione del centro cittadino in cui definisce la sua immagine contemporanea. In un contesto compromesso dagli eventi bellici, con ampi spazi da edificare e riconfigurare in chiave moderna, le esigenze abitative hanno trovato un connubio perfetto con la nascente tipologia residenziale di cui Pescara è in larga parte costituita, tanto da poter essere definita “città di palazzine”.

Abstract
This book analyses the architectural type of the “small building” extensively used during the expansion of Pescara in the second half of the twentieth century. The study discovered that the building type was extensively used in the development of the city centre where it characterizes the city’s contemporary image. Since the war ravaged a rather extensive area of the city the latter needed to be rebuilt and redesigned in a modern style; this nascent residential type was identified as being the perfect housing solution and is in fact present in large areas of Pescara, so much so that the city is known as the “city of small buildings”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
