Wallpaperさんのインスタグラム写真 - (WallpaperInstagram)「Stefan Giftthaler (@stefangiftthaler) has created a mesmerising photo series of Milan's modernist swimming pools. 🏊‍♂️⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ‘I didn’t grow up in Milan, but as soon as I stepped into one of these open air pools, something inside me immediately felt that I already knew that place,’ says Giftthaler, ‘it was the light, the lazy summer morning atmosphere, few people and the way their voices echoed across the water.’⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Many of the pools date from the country’s economic boom during the 1960s and 70s, but there are a few surviving examples from the fascist era, such as Luigi Lorenzo Secchi’s Piscina Romano, when austere classical forms collide with stripped-back modernism to form a style that found favour with the right wing government. The city’s vast Lido, designed by the engineer Cesare Marescotti in 1931, still endures as a vital space for sport and leisure for all ages.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Often the pools are set against towering backdrops of public housing or industrial buildings, creating what Giftthaler describes as an ‘almost metaphysical effect.'⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ See the full series via the link in bio.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #Modernism #Milan #SwimmingPools #Pools #Architecture #WallpaperMagazine⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀」11月17日 21時31分
