The Interrupted City

Actarbirkhauser

This is a stunning collection of images from one of the world's most critically acclaimed architectural and urban photographers. Gabriele Basilico has been taking photographs of architecture or, more specifically, the urban landscape, for over 30 years. Having studied architecture, he feels a special attraction towards the outskirts and the so-called "border zones" of urban environments. In both his personal projects and those he takes on as assignments, his research has focused on the continual transformation of the image of the city. This unstoppable phenomenon of urbanization, often without planning, that the cities undergo and which leaves them deprived of form and configuration, and as a result, of any sign of identity, is captured brilliantly and his photographs. Intercity proposes a synthesis of the work that Gabriele Basilico has been developing during the last 7 years, putting special emphasis on the series dedicated to the city of Moscow.

INTERCITY

La Fábrica Editorial

As part of a project dedicated to the memory of the Beirut war, this reflection on the destruction of a city captures the horrific and decimating effects of such a conflict. With unbiased accuracy and artistic vision, photography master Gabriele Basilico exemplifies war reportage and the value of captured images as a means to keep historical memories alive. He visited the war-torn city in 1991 and again in 2003 to showcase, via pictorial representations, a destroyed past with only a blueprint for an unpredictable future. These provocative photographs show not only the dramatic effects of war, but also examine the toll taken on the urban identity of Beirut and question how a city can rise up to reclaim its life.

A prized collection of more than 300 photographs, this beautiful statement of urban life traces the stories of such cities as Rotterdam and Barcelona, Antwerp and Valencia, Nice, Frankfurt, and Genoa. The combination of street signs, billboards, cars, bridges, roads, trains, ships, and cranes refashions the city from what some deem chaos into a testament of human creativity and artistic freedom. The images explore the complex interrelationships between the human-made, constructed environment and the natural one—as well as the connections these international cities have with each other. A testament to urban beauty, this monograph pictures the modern lives that encompass the city and investigates their intricate bonds to architecture, factories, buildings, rivers, and parks.
