Keywords: Architecture, Design, Enzo Frateili, Design Magazines, Design History, Technology

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to divulge Enzo Frateili’s work through his writings published in the design magazines during his work as an architect, critic, and expert of design and contemporary architecture. The author, through this review, fully respects the Frateili’s multifaceted activity, “not just making contributions to the history but always pointing to the connection between history and philosophy of design, as well as between history and technology development. A mix that would also feature his books more specifically dedicated to the history” (Norsa & Riccini, 2016, p. X).
