At last, a guidebook dedicated to contemporary architecture in the Piedmont region.
The Guide documents the important architectural works realized during the twentieth century in the Piedmont, in chronological order (from the Exhibition of Decorative Arts (1902) to the 20^th Winter Olympic Games, held in Turin in 2006) and with a clear theme: great events as the drivers and opportunities for affirmation for Turin and the Piedmont region, an occasion for exchanging ideas with different architects and architectural traditions.

In both Italian and English, realized with the support of the Piedmont Region, it is the official guide to the XXIII UIA World Congress Torino 2008, edited by Maria Adriana Giusti and Rosa Tamborrino.

The guide is designed to provide an original and alternative description of the city, pointing out public and private "temporary living spaces", chosen and interpreted according to changing criteria that are based on designer interiors, or "spontaneous" yet suggestive décor, or examples of artistic contamination. Not all the usual places, therefore, but those less well known, to be presented to tourists - and even more so to the city's inhabitants - who wish to discover a more unusual side of a post-industrial metropolis.

Second edition, updated to 2008, promoted and coordinated by the Order of Architects of Turin and realized with the support of the Turin Chamber of Commerce.

A guidebook with postcard illustrations of Turin's and monuments and works of art.
The book was designed as a collection of pictures, a small and easily handled object to present all the works that live in town, one at a time. Not just mere illustrated pages, but real and proper postcards you can detach, put a stamp on and send.
Each front page reproduces the picture of a historical monument or of a work of Contemporary Art and the back page gives all basic data, such as the title of the work, the name of its author and a descriptive "pill". Besides the   postcards, the booklet also gives a complete inventory of all existing and planned works and three short introductory texts explaining the philosophy of the P.A.Pu.M. project and all the work behind it in a simple language.

This volume of the Multimedia Tales collection is bilingual (Italian / English) and has been realized by Turin Municipality, OfficinaCittàTorino Department.
