A collection of insights, a series of hypotheses about the transversality and interdisciplinarity that characterize the process of creating design. A succession of micro-narratives that take reality as a source of inspiration. The evolution of materials and techniques, art and design, its authors and their works, aspects of form and type, of history and anthropology, psychological and social elements, all come together in a succession of consequential and hence inseparable reflections on the 'quantum sufficit' to recount the complexity of designing in our times. Text in English and Italian.

This book has been designed to present several Ipostudio architecture projects produced in different periods that feature assonances and shared conceptual characteristics and principles. Ipostudio is a working group that was founded in Florence 40 years ago. It carries out architectural design in the sphere of civil architecture, specializing in the areas of social and health structures, schools, special types of residence, and social housing. The works presented in this book are stillborn projects that never saw the light. Now, many years later, it seems only fair to give them another chance and, in a sense, a new life. The primary intention of this book is to tell the story of the origin and development of the design process. What do these stillborn projects tell us? They have a great advantage: they will never be put to the test of reality but will remain a potential of outstanding ideas. Almost all the projects presented were conceived as entries in Italian and international architecture competitions. The book is divided into six chapters addressing various aspects of architectural composition through the critical interpretation of a series of works.
