Process Architecture No. 23: Pier Luigi Nervi
A scarce copy of Issue No. 23 of the Japanese architectural journal Process Architecture. Each issue follows a monograph-style format, offering an in-depth examination of a single subject, including architects, firms, movements, or buildings.
Issue 23 is dedicated to the Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, renowned for his work with reinforced concrete. Black-and-white photographs, diagrams, plans, essays, and selections from Nervi’s own writings document projects spanning the globe. Celebrated for reimagining the structural and aesthetic potential of concrete, Nervi developed thin-shell constructions and web-like structural ribs that bridged engineering and architecture. His innovative use of resilient materials enabled the creation of elegant, lightweight, and flexible structures in ways not previously thought possible. Text in Japanese and English. Item #2035.
