Beginning in the 1950s, Gregotti produced many large-scale housing projects, supermarkets and department stores for the Italian chain La Rinascente, college campuses (including Florence, Calabria, and Palermo), as well as graphic design for Ferrari, museum interiors, furniture, and an extensive body of writing.

Photographs, plans, sketches, and models are accompanied by Gregotti's own writings, which elucidate his commitment to historicism, his concern with the environment, and his vast polemics.
