Abstract
Impetuous, versatile, nonconformist Florentine architect Vittorio Giorgini (1926–2010), son of Giovan Battista, pioneer of Made in Italy around the world, built his work on the experimental study of forms connected to the natural world and on the analysis of vernacular construction, the basis of cultural expression for a community. Giorgini’s design process was based on the direct observation of natural structures and the design and construction of models, the fundamental and essential element of all his research. His investigations began with the study of such curved systems as shells and membranes, curiosity about tensile structures and analysis of octahedral and dodecahedral geometrical shapes. Giorgini’s urban architectural journey took place within the complex world of “Spatiology”, a term coined by Giorgini, where his studies on the interaction between humans, the environment and nature converged.
