Resumo
This research is a study of the residential works of Luigi Caccia Dominioni. The chronological development relates to the 1950s, precisely the period when the works of the architect Caccia Dominioni were being published in the most important Italian publications of the time. Distinguished figures of the Italian architectonic field (Gio Ponti, Luigi Moretti, Ernesto Nathan Rogers…) presented his projects and works in their publications; these were the works where he matured professionally and where one can see his stylistic exercises. The study and evaluation of the 7 cases under research is undertaken with two objectives. The first and most important is to discover, analyse and make known in the current panorama, the Italian architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni. His works, which are almost unknown in Spain, and little publicised in his own country, present an opportunity to collect together the disperse information about his opus, as well as to revisit the plane surveys for his housing in Milan. The second objective is to produce new graphic documentation of his residential buildings, to then make an analysis and a critique of the chosen examples from a projectural point of view, which will aid in the dissemination of his works, and to provide learning on housing subjects. Plans have been drawn to accompany the text, which help to recognise and study the singularity of his residential works, his independence and his good craft. The knowledge of these first residential works and their later analysis through four scales of observation (city, plan, detail, and lesson), will validate or not the true Stile di Caccia, which without doubt provides an incentive to find new projectural strategies for the subject of collective housing in the present day.
