One of Garrett's colleagues, Michael, spent time with us today and gave us a mini tour of the Italian town of Como. Michael is an architect and an American who has lived in Italy since the 1970s or so. Most of the tour consisted of Guiseppe Terragni's work, but Michael also include historical information about Como and Italy, a brief introduction to the architect Antonio Sant'Elia and also stressed the importance of materials, especially with architecture.
