Building Around Architecture | Francesco Venezia Outside The Mainstream. The Pocket Books are a series of small publications which compile theoretical texts by various architects or institutions in different collections. These writings reflect various areas of interest and performance in architectural discourse. For this edition, Annette Condello, educator in architectural theory and urban design at Curtin University, Australia, delves into themes in Italian architect Francesco Venezia’s writings and works which expand on the evolution of fragmentary design strategies and their pre-Christian foundations. The analysis goes on to critically question the foundations and conditions for productive reuse in Italy, relevant in terms of the circular economy.
