Since his early buildings in the 1950s at Udine in Friuli, north east Italy, Gino Valle has been recognized by international critics 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. Whether in the smaller towns of Friuli and Veneto or in international metropolitan centres such as New York, Paris or Berlin, Valle realised a wide range of important works from social housing to banks, factories, offices, town halls and courthouses. These 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. This edition makes available for the first time in English the only critical monograph dedicated to the work of Gino Valle.
