The Hero of Doubt Ernesto Nathan Rogers

Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909 – 1969) – architect, editor, writer and educator – can be credited with expanding the appreciation of modern architecture within the Italian context and beyond. Yet he is relatively unrecognized in the historiography of twentieth-century architecture. Most of the texts selected for this volume have been translated into English for the first time. They reveal his tireless efforts to render the past as present, from linguistic and practical points of view, and his unique capacity to ‘handle and remould’ architectural terms, concepts and language.
