Many architects in history have traveled far and wide, apart from their eras or pertinent architectural currents, and this is already a profoundly meaningful datum on its own. Each of them has had their Orient, taking Le Corbusier as a reference point, and many (like him) also made significant second journeys, at a later age, in the wake of the technological evolution of transports in the period after World War II. The exercise of travel, apart from following the routes taken by the great masters, can be practiced by using itineraries of contemporary architecture. One example is the Italian Journey provided by this volume, which is certainly not exhaustive enough to depict the present state of Italian architecture, but does indubitably represent an overview of the new generation of architects.
