[.en] Jo Noero is a South African architect. He made his name internationally during Apartheid, working for NGOs, Desmond Tutu and the Anglican Church on schools, community centers, churches, and homes in the townships, most notably in Soweto. With the coming of democracy, the scope of Noero’s work broadened to include offices, public buildings, schools, and the homes of some of South Africa’s leading struggle heroes, business leaders, and arts personalities. Noero has completed over 200 buildings and is most known for The Red Location Precinct in New Brighton, a township in Port Elizabeth. This was named the Best Building in the World at the 2013 Icon Awards in London, while The Red Location Museum won the Lubetkin Prize in 2006 for the Most Outstanding Building Outside the EU, as well as The Dedallo Minosse President’s Award, The RIBA International Award, and a World Leadership Award for Public Architecture. This publication covers the entire career of Jo Noero, spanning from the initial works to today, and, while providing a portrait of the changing environment of South Africa, offer a comprehensive insight into the professional ethos and disciplinary approach of Noeroarchitects to the design of the built environment.

[.it] Il punto di riferimento nel lavoro progettuale di Botticini e Facchinelli è la complessità di un mondo frammentato e versatile. L’interpretazione di tale mondo è sempre differente ed articolata; varia a seconda dei soggetti e del contesto. Questo approccio architetturale fa del suo contenuto concettuale preliminare il suo fondamento. Inoltre, fornisce al progetto un’interpretazione non convenzionale dovuta alle sempre differenti richieste funzionali e espressive, oltre agli innumerevoli stimoli che vengono dall’ambiente ed il paesaggio circostante. Un approccio collaborativo e intra-disciplinarlo ha permesso di coinvolgere diversi attori nel processo produttivo. Grazie ad un intenso network di esperti, è stato possibile stabilire frequenti scambi ed interpretazioni e risolvere ogni problematica emergente nel modo più accurato ed esaustivo possibile. Camillo Botticini ha ricevuto molti riconoscimenti, soprattutto nel settore dei lavori pubblici, combinando la ricerca sul campo con la ricerca accademica presso il Politecnico di Milano. Questi riconoscimenti sottolineano la capacità di sperimentazione di Botticini in casi concreti, in una costante ricerca di sintesi tra pragmatismo e ricerca nelle varie fasi progettuali. La sua vasta esperienza in lavori pubblici di piccole dimensioni, soprattutto nella zona di Brescia, gli ha permesso di creare una solida rete di contatti che costituiscono un’ottima rampa di lancio per il futuro.

[.en] Monograph.it is a unique contemporary magazine that combines monography and review. Each volume follows an original structure, although all devote several pages to the study of architecture. Accompanying these case studies are galleries flush with places, buildings, and landscapes; when combined with detailed studies focussing on cities in evolution, Monograph.it encourages its readers to conceive of urbanisation and landscape as mutually complementary. The aim of this is to provide a comprehensive overview that acknowledges differing development-speeds of architectural productions, across a variety of scales. An ongoing project, this survey will be summarised in 'Researches' (a chapter to be published in the next issue). This will stress the importance of encouraging innovation in students of architecture. Monograph.it acts as a platform for theoretical debate, conducting interviews and hosting essays from big-name figures in the architecture world - for example, the firm featured in this issue. Camillo Botticini have created many resplendent built environments, with a geometric modish style that unifies aestheticism with ease of navigation. Their designs centre around the satisfying yet brutalist shape of a square. Provoking and bold, their work is as ultra-modernist as it is unusual.
