The paper investigates Gio Ponti’s architectural projects in Naples from 1937 to 1953.During these years, the Milanese architect had several design opportunities in Naples, allowing him to observe and critique the city through the pages of his magazines, «Domus» and «Stile». Spanning from the late 1930s to the post-war years, he developed the Mediterranean house deeply integrated into the landscape. Reviewing his Neapolitan projects offers a unique perspective on Naples and provides valuable insights for rethinking the role of architecture in contemporary cities from an ecological standpoint, in which architecture is itself landscape.
