A must-have monograph on the global legacy of Gae Aulenti, Italy's pioneering architect and designer. The most extensive publication to date on Gae Aulenti (1927-2012) accompanies a major retrospective at Triennale Milano in 2024-25. The richly illustrated book includes hundreds of projects--both built and unrealized--and a bibliography of Aulenti's writings, alongside design documents, drawings, correspondence, and testimonies that capture the complexity of Aulenti's persona and practice. In 1972, Aulenti was one of twelve Italian designers commissioned to create a site-specific environment for the groundbreaking exhibition Italy: The New Domestic Landscape at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, bringing her work to a global audience as one of the most forward-thinking voices in her field. She realized major projects, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where she led the conversion of the former railway station into one of the world's most renowned museums; the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona; and in Tokyo, where her refined and scenographic approach to exhibition design met wide acclaim. Retracing Aulenti's contributions across architecture, design, theater, and exhibition making, this book sheds new light on a figure central to shaping Italian and international visual culture in the second half of the twentieth century.
