Ivrea, industrial city of the 20th century
The industrial city of Ivrea, located in Piedmont, was a testing ground for Olivetti, a manufacturer of typewriters, mechanical calculators and office computers. The city consists of a large factory and buildings for administration, social services and residential units. The complex was designed by leading Italian urban planners and architects, mostly between the 1930s and 1960s, reflecting the ideas of the Community Movement (Movimento Comunità). Ivrea is a typical social project that expresses a modern vision of the relationship between industrial production and architecture.
Amiens Cathedral
Located in the heart of Picardy, Amiens Cathedral is one of the largest "classical" Gothic churches of the 13th century. It is noted for the coherence of its plan, the beauty of its three-story interior facade, and the particularly fine display of sculpture on the main facade and in the south transept.
