How to deal with historic buildings has long been a core issue of the international architectural discourse. Herzog & de Meuron began addressing the potential of existing structures very early on: the maintenance and alteration of buildings are among the key strategies of the architects. For the Park Avenue Armory in New York, Herzog & de Meuron have designed a new model for dealing with monuments. The historical building was opened in 1881 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan as a meeting place and training ground for the National Guard, and boasts a rich mixture of different styles. Herzog & de Meuron developed a multifaceted strategy for the transformation of the building, now used as a cultural center, that allows for a combination of restoration, transformation, and innovation. From the exposing of historic structures to the addition of new elements, the architecture gained new vibrancy from the considered entanglement of different aspects. In the current debate, this departure from the practice of historic preservation in the United States is, beyond its value as an actual example, a unique contribution that unfolds in close reference to material. It is exemplary and groundbreaking.

Un elegante volume illustrato dedicato a Sanlorenzo, la cui produzione e i cui modi vanno ben oltre la corretta interpretazione delle funzioni primarie ed essenziali attinenti alla navigabilità, ma sono altresì progetto nel progetto, design squisitamente discrezionale, sartoriale. Il volume narra come Sanlorenzo, per ogni singolo armatore, si faccia di volta in volta garante della casa superlativa. Grazie all'attenta, peculiare visione di Massimo Perotti, azionista e CEO, e al fattivo e competente impegno di Sergio Buttiglieri, responsabile dell'interior design, Sanlorenzo è stato il primo cantiere al mondo a portare a bordo dei suoi yacht il design Made in Italy e la personalizzazione degli arredi.
