Additional Information
Designer: Ignazio Gardella
Ignazio Gardella (Milan, 30 March 1905 - Oleggio, 15 March 1999) was an Italian architect, engineer and designer. Born into a family of architects, the progenitor is the homonymous great-grandfather Ignazio Gardella graduated in engineering at the Milan Polytechnic in 1928. The long professional activity, which began before graduation in the late 1920s with his father Arnaldo Gardella, produces a huge amount of projects and achievements. Among the first buildings we can remember the Antitubercular Dispensary of Alexandria. Before the war, some important participations in architectural competitions should also be noted, such as the one for the construction of the Casa del Fascio in Oleggio together with the architect Luigi Vietti. In the first post-war period Gardella resumed activity with full vigor, producing many important works and some masterpieces, such as the Borsalino houses in Alessandria (1952). Numerous awards have been received, including: the Olivetti National Award for Architecture (1955), the Gold Medal of the President of the Republic for Meritorious School, Culture and Art (1977), the Golden Lion career from the Venice Biennale (1996), the titles of honorary member of RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects), member of the National Academy of San Luca and honorary member of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. Gardella's architecture always maintains a composure that could be defined as classical. This can be deduced both from the extreme refinement of the detail, which sometimes approaches it to his contemporary friend Franco Albini, and from the control of the overall design of the building and of the architectural space. In his architecture there is the concern to detach himself from the immediate, from the fashion of the moment, and to seek a timeless elsewhere. -Production: Italiana
