Lecture: A Vademecum of ‘City Making’ by Umberto Napolitano (LAN, Paris)
In the exhibition ‘Napoli Super Modern’, Parisian practice LAN (Benoit Jallon and Umberto Napolitano), together with photographer Cyrille Weiner, draw attention to a series of buildings from the period 1930–1960. A timespan in which Italy’s architecture was marked by Fascism and post-war reconstruction, but in Naples also brought forward a highly contextualized form of Modernism.

‘Napoli Super Modern’
S AM Swiss Architecture Museum is showing the exhibition 'Napoli Super Modern' from 12 May to 21 August 2022. An exhibition by LAN and the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum with Cyrille Weiner and Bêka & Lemoine.
Everyone seems ‘to know’ Naples, even those who have never been there: its setting, its sounds, its people, its tastes, its informality and, not least, its stories, shaped by the fervour with which the inhabitants live this city. As numerous as these narratives are reproduced in literature, music, or film, countless stories about eras, styles, and uses also overlap in the city's architecture.
The exhibition ‘Napoli Super Modern’ is curated by LAN (Benoit Jallon und Umberto Napolitano) and by Andreas Kofler, S AM Swiss Architecture Museum.
The exhibition takes place under the patronage of the Italian Consulate in Basel.
