The book ‘About Yona Friedman. People’s Architecture’ accompanies an exhibition on the work of architect Yona Friedman at the MAXXI, and arose from the need to supplement the exhibition itinerary with yet another itinerary, both critical and documentary, so that the issues addressed in his post-war utopian design will carry forward into the future.
It offers insight into the universal language conceived by Friedman in the 1950s, which can be applied in different contexts to meet sustainability, ecological, and social needs in our current global reality. It also explores the theme of improvisation, which emerged as a possibility in architecture during the 1970s. The book features previously unpublished material and original drawings.
