The italian "Tendenza" in the Centre Pompidou

This retrospective traces the beginnings of an architectural movement that questioned the abstraction of modern architecture, advocating a return to historical forms, which would be known as postmodernism.

Visitors will discover the works of the most famous architects of the Tendenza, such as Mario Ridolfi, Alessandro Anselmi, Carlo Aymonino, Paolo Portoghesi, Ernesto N. Rogers, Aldo Rossi and Massimo Scolari – and of other members of the movement who had a particularly strong influence on the Italian scene: Salvatore Bisogni, Gianni Braghieri, Arduino Cantafora, the G.R.A.U (Groupe Romain d’Architectes Urbanistes), Edoardo Guazzoni, Antonio Monestiroli, Dario Passi, Franz Prati, Franco Purini, Uberto Siola, Franco Stella, Daniele Vitale, Giangiacomo D’Ardia et al.

To accompany this exhibition, the Éditions du Centre Pompidou is publishing a 160-page catalogue containing 200 illustrations, edited by Frédéric Migayrou, Deputy Director of the Musée national d’art moderne / Centre de création industrielle.
