Symbol of prestige and venue of relaxation, the villa has always provided an exceptional opportunity for understanding architecture's relationship with the countryside. This holds true for the projects selected in this second volume of Villas in Italy & Canton Ticino. Purposely and solely comprised of new projects, this collection represents the contemporary interpretation of a theme, which, though it is firmly rooted in history, is also exposed to an endless amount of reinterpretations. The extraordinary pictures of the homes described in this volume reflect a variety of completely novel solutions.
