Architetture costruite di Enrico Castiglioni nella Scuola Italiana di Ingegneria

During the 1950s, "made in Italy" structures established all over the world. Italian architects presented authorial interpretations of the “structuralist” mood, transforming structural topics in the alphabet of a new architectural language, deeply intertwined with the artisanal dimension of the cast in situ reinforced concrete construction site. The architect-engineer Enrico Castiglioni was deeply involved in this collective adventure. His works (disclosed by the international attention due to visionary un-built projects), represent, in the Italian School of Engineering, a unique local story to be discolosed and disseminated. This contribution presents first results of ongoing surveys on the most significant built structures of Varese district. The study is conducted within the research project "SIXXI – Twentieth Century Structural Engineering: the Italian Contribution" (ERC Advanced Grant, PI Sergio Poretti, Tullia Iori).
