Biography
Lorenzo Ciccarelli is Associate Professor in History of Architecture at the University of Florence. His research focuses on modern and contemporary architecture in a global perspective, with special attention to cultural migrations and labour organisation strategies.
“Lorenzo Ciccarelli delivered a brilliant comprehensive study of the work of the ltalian architect‑intellectual Vittorio Gregotti who was particularly active as a professional architect and as a critical intellectual between the middle of the last century and the early years of this present century”.
Kenneth Frampton, Emeritus Professor of Architecture at the GSAPP at Columbia University, New York
“Vittorio Gregotti’s importance as an architect, critic and editor cannot be overstated. His Casabella shaped what was known and said about architecture for decades; through his own practice he reset architectural design and production for a territorial scale. In this fine new book, Lorenzo Ciccarelli introduces a legacy in the making, locating and articulating Gregotti’s significant contribution to architecture since the end of the 1940s as questions of history, institutions and thought”.
Andrew Leach, Professor of Architecture, University of Sydney
