Quirino De Giorgio (1907-1997) is among the few Italian architects
whose careers represents the entirety of the twentieth century:
from futurism through fascism to the experimentations linked to the
invention of reinforced concrete. Too often remembered exclusively
for his early futurist and fascist works, De Giorgio is an
architect whose production continued, until his last years, to
develop in the experimental and dynamic way which had characterised
its beginnings. Quirino De Giorgio: An Architect's Legacy, the
first English-language book dedicated to the Italian architect, is
a constellation of his surviving buildings shown through the eyes
of photographer Enrico Rizzato. In Rizzato's pictures, each one of
the ninety surviving works will showcase the universality of De
Giorgio's projects and the transformations that time has stamped on
his creations, taking the reader on a voyage across the different
facets of Italian architecture. Accompanying site plans, floorplans
and sections provide deeper insight into De Giorgio's spatial,
structural, urban, and landscaping inventions. An opening essay
will introduce the reader to the still relatively unknown method
and life of this highly original yet still too little known
architect. The book also includes a full list of De Giorgio's works
that has been reconstructed here for the first time through
extensive archival work.
