Présentation de l'éditeur :
In recent years, the figure and the work of Morassutti has attracted well-deserved attention from critics, imposing its values on contemporary architectural culture.
Born in Padua in 1920, Morassutti graduated at the Faculty of
Architecture at Venice University (1946), and was subsequently the only
Italian to study for a year in the community project organized by Frank
Lloyd Wright at Taliesin (1949-50). On his return from the American
experience, having worked briefly with Carlo Scarpa, the Paduan
architect tempered the influence of Lloyd Wright by embarking on his
own independent field of research. He moved to Milan to work at the
BBPR studio where he met Angelo Mangiarotti, with whom he worked for
several years (1954-63).
During this period, several famous buildings took shape, like the
church at Baranzate, the block of flats in Via Gavirate and another in
Via Quadronno in Milan, all with the contribution of structural expert
Aldo Favini.
In 1967 he joined architects Giovanna Gussoni, Mario Memoli and Maria
Gabriella Benevento, with whom he designed the extraordinary IBM
complex at Novedrate (1970-74), as well as studies and projects on the
use of prefabricated construction systems.
