This dissertation has as primordial purpose the reflection about the interventions made under the patronage of the Olivetti company on a specific moment of the italian story of architecture through the analysis of three case studies: The Olivetti factory in Pozzuoli (1951- 1955) with project by the engineer Luigi Cosenza, the Pharmaceutical Laboratory and Research Institute "Marxer" in Loranzè (1960-1964) designed by the architect Alberto Galardi and the Olivetti Complex of Scarmagno (1967-1988) by architect Eduardo Vittoria. All the considerations made of the selected case studies and the city of Ivrea will be preceded by an investigation of the theoretical principles and pratical foundations that determined and served as ideological base for the political, social and architectonic action started by Adriano Olivetti. The pertinence of the three buildings selected relates to the different interpretation of each of individual author about what is a building for the industry. The three objects will be analysed through four parameters where its project options will be clarified, such as adjustment to site, formal features or programatic distribution, always estabilishing some possible conections that might have guided or influenced the final result. The Olivetti buildings are examples of an attempt to influence the dynamics of the city thus to elevate the living of the man through the development and spread of industrial architecture inspired in american models of production and/or european formal patterns.
