Tectonic approaches in the design of concrete architecture in postwar Italy

The development of reinforced concrete and its construction techniques flourish in an unprecedented way during the postwar period in Italy. The works of engineers like Pier Luigi Nervi, Aldo Favini and Sergio Musmeci exemplify the plastic potential of reinforced concrete, which can be considered as an artificial stone that brings an artificial form. The new understanding of this construction material allows to observe a plurality of new tectonic approaches in concrete architecture.
