This edition makes available for the first time in English the only critical monograph dedicated to the work of Gino Valle, realized with Luka Skansi with an enormous support of Piera Valle and Pietro Valle. Since his early buildings in the 1950s at Udine in Friuli, northeast Italy, Gino Valle has been recognized by international critics as Joseph Rykwert (author of a Foreword to the book) and Reyner Banham as one of the most original and creative European architects of the post-war period. His artistic talent, associated with a great intellectual curiosity and a genuine passion for new construction systems, led Valle to develop an architectural work that was resolutely open and multiform. His buildings make valuable contributions to debates about the relationship between new architecture and historic surroundings, between industrial and open landscape, urban design and architectural intervention.

Abstract

This edition makes available for the first time in English the only critical monograph dedicated to the work of Gino Valle, realized with Luka Skansi with an enormous support of Piera Valle and Pietro Valle. Since his early buildings in the 1950s at Udine in Friuli, northeast Italy, Gino Valle has been recognized by international critics as Joseph Rykwert (author of a Foreword to the book) and Reyner Banham as one of the most original and creative European architects of the post-war period. His artistic talent, associated with a great intellectual curiosity and a genuine passion for new construction systems, led Valle to develop an architectural work that was resolutely open and multiform. His buildings make valuable contributions to debates about the relationship between new architecture and historic surroundings, between industrial and open landscape, urban design and architectural intervention.
