Carlo de Carli

Carlo de Carli (1919 – 1999) graduated from Politecnico di Milano in 1934. He made the most of his architectural and design works between second World War and the early 70ties. The most significant ones are the Residences and Office Building at via dei Giardini 7 in Milan, in which basement he realized the tiny Sant’Erasmo Theatre, the complex Opera Don Calabria at Cimiano, Sant’lldefonso Church in Milan and the elderly shelter in Verona. He won the Compasso d’Oro in 1954 and designed a lot of furniture pieces for the leading craft and industrial design companies. From 1965 to 1968 he was Dean of the Faculty of Architecture of Politecnico di Milan, where he taught until 1986. His most important writings are collected in the book titled Primary Space Architecture (published in 1982).
