Publishers

Maggioli Editore, known as the major Italian publisher in technical handbooks, goes into the architectural publications world with a new book series devoted to environmental design in architecture and landscape architecture. The Environscapes series, unique both for the graphical concept and the full colour presentation, focuses on this current, ever-changing topic through two kinds of writings: inedited monographs (with Italian and English full texts) dedicated to emerging architectural practices with great potential, or to the most interesting contemporary design studios; critical and technical essays (with Italian texts) introducing the opportunities related to environmental sustainability evolution concepts. Fully illustrated books dedicated to professionals, to scholars and to students, but able to also intercept a wide transversal and non-specialized public of reading lovers and those curious about architecture and design.
