Summary "The computer world is a shifting web. We can regroup the nuclei of information and build a hierarchy of them in a myriad of relations. And when an atom changes, the change of the entire system can be verified, or, by changing the sense, the order or interlacing of the links, forming new worlds. What happens when this tool is applied to historical and critical research, dynamically reconstructing an unrealized project? This is the question that this book focuses on, analyzing some of the projects for monuments and villas by Giuseppe Terragni that remained on paper. Through careful historiographical study and the analytical disassembly and reassembly of his designs, the book manages to reveal images of virtual architecture, but with a high degree of reliability, outlining at the same time an innovative model of historical and critical research rich in prospects for the future."--BOOK JACKET
