"A first-ever publication of Frederick Kiesler's manifesto from 1945, transcribed and annotated, accompanied with original illustrations and introduced with an essay by Spyros Papapetros"--

The first publication of artist and architect Frederick Kiesler’s epoch-spanning history of human architecture, largely unknown but still relevant. Magic Architecture was the architect Frederick Kiesler’s most ambitious book project, an epoch-spanning history of human housing from prehistory to the atomic era, submitted to editors after World War II but left unpublished. In its holistic view of habitation through the lens of anthropology, ecology, and the life sciences, Magic Architecture is one of the most extraordinary texts on architecture written in the twentieth century, now at last published in the twenty-first. Kiesler’s exploration of the effects of modern technology in combination with the alternative epistemology of “magical” practices associated with cave drawings and the first artifacts of human industry reflects his profoundly interdisciplinary perspective on the development of art, architecture, and design. This critical edition preserves Kiesler’s conception of the book as a neo-Vitruvian treatise divided into ten parts that narrate an alternative history and theory of architecture. Also included are more than seventy composite plate illustrations consisting of images cut and pasted from books and popular science journals, with elaborate captions, as well as Kiesler’s own line drawings made specifically for this project. The editors have reassembled the book’s text and illustrations from archival documents, supplementing them with notes that trace the copious development of the work. &nbsp;Introductory essays provide an interpretation of key themes and bibliographic sources, as well as a chronological context of the architect’s research. Appendixes offer additional textual and visual material gathered by Kiesler for the project.

Secret / unusual guides

Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Tuscany still reserves any number of hidden treasures for those who know how to wander off the beaten track.

A 15th century stained glass window with an image of Mussolini, a forgotten sculpture by Leonardo da Vinci, a luxurious hotel converted into a public bath, a "milk distributor” 17th century, a frog that drinks wine, a unique astronomical phenomenon in the world, the imprints of Santa Caterina's teeth on a stairway in Siena, a shield with the blood of Christ, the place where the amphora of the Cana Wedding is preserved, one extraordinary anatomical theater in Pistoia, the fountain of the youth of fairy Morgana, an unusual walk along the marble monorail ...
Far away from people and cliches, Tuscany still has hidden treasures which it is ready to unveil to its inhabitants and travellers willing to abandon the beaten paths.  An indispensable guide for those who think they know it well Tuscany or for those who wish to discover the secret face of the region.
