STORIA E STRUTTURA 1970 | L'ACROPOLI | RENATO DE FUSCO

Storia e struttura (1970) by Renato De Fusco is a seminal text delving into the intricate relationship between historical context and structural form in architecture. Positioned within post‑war Italian architectural discourse, the book bridges theoretical history and design praxis, examining how structural systems both reflect and shape cultural moments. De Fusco explores typologies from classical to modern, showing how each structural paradigm emerges from, and in turn influences, broader aesthetic and functional imperatives. His analytical method—anchored in diagrams, comparative chronology, and historical case studies—paves the way for understanding architectural form as a product of temporal and cultural forces, not merely of constructional need.
