Renato De Fusco

What we call design and how it evolves in human cultures are subjects addressed by an abundance of writers. But, “any essayistic writing on the theory is confined to the search for a definition of design, which is continually refuted by the facts”, while “the history has always been contemplated through the prism of the architectural history”.
