Giancarlo De Carlo in the 1950s

Giancarlo De Carlo (12 December 1919 − 4 June 2005) was an Italian architect.[1]

Biography

Giancarlo De Carlo was born in Genoa, Liguria, in 1919. He trained as an architect from 1942 to 1949, a time of political turmoil which shaped his philosophy towards life and architecture.

Libertarian socialism was the underlying force for all of his planning and design. De Carlo saw architecture as a consensus-based activity: his designs were generated as an expression of the forces that operate in a given context, including human, physical, cultural, and historical forces. His ideas linked the CIAM ideals with the late twentieth century reality.[2]

De Carlo was a member of Team 10, along with Alison and Peter Smithson, Aldo van Eyck, and Jacob Bakema, among others.[2] Although his political beliefs have limited his portfolio of buildings, his ideas remained through his journal Spazio e Società - Space & Society, and his teaching at the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD).[2][3]
