Italian term or phrase: architetture dello star system
Questa città di complessi unitariamente progettati – sia "architetture dello star system", sia una varietà ripetitiva di condomini e villette – è promossa per cospicua dotazione di verde (anche se non corrisponde al vero), per quiete e vivibilità e, più recentemente, per il recupero identitario di radici con il luogo.

Thanks for your help

The problem is that if you
look in the Italian magazines you get the impression that just what we call "the star system's pack of cards" really exists. Just the old
same pack of cards that they shuffle and reshuffle to present month
