ill., br. "Il problema dell'arredamento navale va al di là della semplice questione di comodità, di eleganza, di gusto. Esso è, attraverso l'opera degli artisti e degli esecutori, una viva testimonianza del tenore della civiltà della Nazione che sulla nave esercita l'ospitalità". Così scriveva Gio Ponti nel 1931 su "Domus", commentando gli allestimenti di Gustavo Pulitzer Finali per la Victoria, prima nave passeggeri italiana. In quegli anni, e fino al secondo dopoguerra, il mondo dell'architettura, con i suoi più alti esponenti, collaborava attivamente con un'industria navale che accoglieva il codice moderno adattandolo alla consolidata tradizione artigianale italiana. Da le uniche sedi depositarie del sapere tecnico-scientifico del campo sono state le facoltà di ingegneria navale. Il volume, a metà tra saggio e manuale, raccoglie gli interventi teorici di alcuni tra i maggiori esperti italiani nelle materie navali, tutti docenti del Master Iuav, che affrontano molteplici temi d'interesse: dalla rinnovata progettazione navale alla costruzione sostenibile dei mezzi marini, dall'ingegneria costruttiva al disegno degli interni, alla formazione e all'insegnamento dell'architettura navale oggi, soffermandosi anche sui regolamenti dei Registri Navali, sulle marine e i porti commerciali, sull'aggiornamento delle normative in continua evoluzione.

19019The three items on letterheads of Beckbury Hall Shifnal. Postcard: 5 March 1915. Letters: 10 and 13 December 1916. According to his long obituary in The Times 13 June 1929 'Central Asian Politics' Yates's 'studies of the affairs of the Indian borderland Central Asia and the Middle East were probably excelled by few retired officers of the Indian Army in wealth of detail and personal knowledge of events and personalities spread over the last half-century'. See also his long entry in Who Was Who. The three items are in fair condition on aged and worn paper with rusting from paperclip. They carry the stamp and docketing of the Society. The card - signed 'A. C. Yate Lt. Col.' - concerns 'the corrected proof of my lecture on "The Indian Army"'. Both letters totalling 3pp. 12mo concern the manuscript of a lecture he proposes giving - following 'a little discussion' at St John's Gate - on the work of the Indian branch of the Red Cross as 'the Society of Arts meditate a lecture on the Ambulance Work of the War'. Accompanying the three items is a Typed Letter Signed 1p. 4to to Wood from Major W. O. Prichard Chief Secretary The St. John Ambulance Association 28 December 1916 on its St John's Gate letterhead sending at Yate's request a copy of the annual report of the Indian Branch which shows 'what wonderful work has been done by the representatives of the Association in India both in connection with the war and among the civil population'. The three items on letterheads of Beckbury Hall, Shifnal. Postcard: 5 March 1915. Letters: 10 and 13 December 1916. unknown
