Roberto Gargiani Biography

Roberto Gargiani is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on September 3, 1956 in Poggio a Caiano, Tuscany, Italy.

Roberto Gargiani (born September 1956) is an Italian architectural historian and full professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

His early research, carried out during the 1980s and 1990s, focused on 20th French century architecture and interiors, on Auguste Perret and his school, and on Le Corbusier. History of construction, from antiquity to the contemporary era, is the subject of books and essays on a wide range of topics, spanning from the construction of the Louvre colonnade in reinforced stone, to the libraries of Henri Labrouste, to the question of polychromy and its implications on the concept of truth of materials, to Gottfried Semper’s principle of cladding and its influences on techniques in modern architecture. The outcome of the research on the history of construction led to the publication of edited collections of essays dedicated to the essential elements of architecture – column, floor, platform, etc. In the mid-1990s he also focused his research on techniques, materials and structures of European Renaissance architecture, which resulted in a book on Italian architecture of the 15th century. In the early 2000s his research on contemporary architecture, in particular on Rem Koolhaas, Archizoom Associati and Superstudio, resulted in several monographic essays and an exposition. In 2008, he was awarded with the ERC Advanced Grant for a research entitled “The surfaces of cement and reinforced concrete. A history of formwork and processing of the surface, 1870-2008”. In his collection Treatise on Concrete, curated by EPFL Press, Roberto Gargiani investigated on the protagonists of 20th century concrete architecture (Le Corbusier, Louis I. Kahn and Pier Luigi Nervi), explored crucial historical periods for the development of concrete structures (18th century), and tackled the role of this material in 20th century art.
