Architecture, design, and landscaping are the cardinal
themes the publishing house has been exploring for the past years,
issuing superior quality books for the world market, all in bilingual
Italian/English editions. Grouped into ongoing series, while many
titles cater directly to professionals in the field, they are accessible
to anyone interested in following trends in contemporary architecture
and related sectors in Italy and abroad, namely, design, furnishings,
exhibition installation, fashion, and entertainment. The series
entitled New Italian
Environments is devoted to Italian architecture of diverse kinds
- shops, stadiums, hotels, housing, window display, villas, discothèques,
lofts, rehabilitation schemes, bars, restaurants - providing a vital
up-to-date tool for professionals, while documenting the unfolding
history of recent architecture. A selection of recent interior designs
in the United States is contained in the series International
Architecture & Interiors, while new Italian trends are covered
by the Italian Design
series. Produced in pocket format, the Menhir
series affords individual profiles of international designers or
new voices in the world of architecture and design, thereby offering
insights into different trends and styles. The Meteoriti
series addresses new projects through an association of narrative
and image. The deluxe Wunderkammer
sets, printed in limited edition, are devoted exclusively to the
medium of photography. Meanwhile, from 1987 to 1996, our limited-edition
Annual Diary focuses each year on a chosen contemporary architect
and has rapidly become a collector's item. Precious one-off volumes,
anastatic reprints, and posters of past exhibitions held in the
gallery, complement the house's own publications, together with
the special bibliographical catalogues of new and rare books complete
with descriptive summaries, providing an indispensable tool for
scholars, researchers and bibliophiles. Edizioni L'Archivolto takes
part each year in the Buchmesse
in Frankfurt, and its publications can be found in all fine
bookstores around the world.
