Abstract

In Italy in the early 1900s there were a series of changes that affected every aspect of community life. The industrialization of the construction sector triggers new unexplored paths of study, which led to the definition of a promising architectural avant-garde, defined as “Modern”. With the new knowledge of the construction technique and the experimentation of innovative building materials, it changes the way of conceiving the ‘architectural type’: it is passed from the traditional masonry buildings to the tectonic “of the frame”, realized with beams, pillars and different building materials that would have contributed to the definition of a new architectural model. These considerations are validated in the study of the “Palazzo delle Poste e Telegrafi” in Matera (built in 1932) in which the architectural type, the materials and the construction systems adopted allow a ‘transversal’ architectural view made of history, architectural currents, arts and traditions of a Modern Italy, that is located between industrial modernisms and constructive traditions.
