Venue: B117 Theatre, Basement level, Melbourne School of Design, Masson Road, University of Melbourne
Presenters: Professor Attilio Terragni
Giuseppe Terragni (1904 – 1943) was a pioneer of modern Italian Architecture and is recognised as a revolutionary figure in architectural design.
He conceived some of Italy’s most significant 20th century buildings, with his designs forming the nucleus of the Italian Rationalist school of architecture.
Much of his work combines a paradoxical combination of the avant garde and the traditional, highlighting a balancing act between Terragni’s own penchant for modernism and the pressure to prioritise the traditional, amidst neo-classical and neo-baroque revivalism under Italy’s fascist government.
In this special presentation Giuseppe Terragni’s grand-nephew Attilio Terragni will explore Terragni’s continued influence on modern architecture and the Terragni family legacy.
Professor Attilio Terragni runs his own studio Attilio Terragni ingegnere architetto artista since 1989.
Special thanks to the Italian Cultural Institute, Melbourne, for their support.
