44 — Giovanni Michelucci — Late Style
About Buildings + Cities - En podkast av Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture
Kategorier:
Giovanni Michelucci was born in 1891, and lived through nine-tenths of the 20th century, through all its terrifying and perplexing twists and dislocations. Throughout his career, his work manages to express an idiosyncratic and critical relationship to the spirit of the age. Over fifty at the end of the war, and sacked from his university job in the late 1950s for being too old, he would go on to produce his best and most daring work in the 60s and 70s.
We discuss Michelucci and Italy, fascism, post-war, and late style.
