Bruno Zevi played a crucial role in the understanding and propagation of contemporary architecture. On the centenary of his birth in an ideal partnership with the initiatives the "Bruno Zevi Foundation" is promoting both in Italy and abroad "Metamorfosi, Q.d.A." devotes this issue to some aspects of his cultural and educational battle. Its goal is to build a bridge between what the next generations learnt from him, all while following different paths, and what still remains alive and useful of his insights for a different way of practicing architecture inspired by social issues and in the pursuit of an evolving link between architecture, city and landscape.
