O autorze

Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, born 1956 in Sicily, studied Architecture and subsequently specialised in Urban Planning. He taught History of Contemporary Architecture at the Sapienza University of Rome, and now teaches History of Contemporary Design at the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA). He is the president of the Italian Association of Architecture and Criticism. He writes for numerous magazines, including Domus, Monument, and the Architects Newspaper, and has guest edited two issues of Architectural Design (AD) dedicated to Italian architecture. His books have anticipated the debate on key themes and figures in contemporary architecture. Among them is Rem Koolhaas: Metropolitan Transparency (1997), which introduced the Dutch architect to Italy. In HyperArchitecture: Spaces in the Electronic Age (1998) he raised the question of the relationship between architecture and digital technologies.
