Il testo indaga attraverso i due contributi critici l’evoluzione ed il ruolo oggi assunto dall’involucro di facciata nella produzione architettonica contemporanea. La sempre più radicale separazione tra struttura e involucro, ripone in quest’ultimo le funzioni espressive e comunicative dell’edificio. Ciò sembra rappresentare una tardiva rivincita di quel bekleidung prinzip che, pur enunciato un secolo fa, apriva la discussione su un fenomeno articolato e problematico, di cui oggi è possibile indagare le ragioni, con cognizione tecnica e nuova consapevolezza teorica

Abstract
Through two critical contributions, this text looks at the evolution and role that have been assumed today by the façade envelope in contemporary architectonic output. The ever-more radical separation between structure and shell entrusts to the latter the expressive and communicative functions of the building. This appears to represent a belated victory for that bekleidung prinzip which, though first expressed a century ago, opened the discussion on an articulated and problematic phenomenon, whose basis we can investigate today with technical knowhow and new theoretical knowledgeI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
