In the theme of revival, which has seemed prominent this newsletter season, my photographs of Olivetti's Ivrea have recently been featured in print for Sabato Magazine. Ivrea, an Italian town purpose-built by the now subsumed typewriter manufacturer, once a model for workers’ rights and progressive design.

Here Italy’s best architects were commissioned to design state-of-the-art factories, canteens, offices; airy palaces of glass curtain walls, flat concrete roofs and glazed brick tile. Now, it is both a cautionary tale and a vision of a utopia. An eerie spellbound nothingness prevails.
