gae aulenti is one of the world's most prominent architects -- and perhaps the most acclaimed woman architect -- whose work spans thc realms of industrial and exhibition design, furniture, graphics, and stage design. world fame came with her creation of the musee d'orsay from the former train station in paris -- and her scores of other highly visible designs include showroom designs for olivetti and knoll, the renovation of the palazzo grassi in venice, opera sets for la scala, the layout of "the italian metamorphosis" exibition at the guggenheim museum in new york., and the "pipistrello" lamp. .
aulenti was an integral member of a group of highly influential designers in milan in the 1950s and 1960s, whose battlefield was the design magazine casabella, under the direction of ernesto rogers. it is from this milieu that she emerged -- in the company of such luminaries as vittorio gregotti, giancarlo de carlo, and aldo rossi -- to gain renown as a designer of analytic, synthetic, and prophetic ability, across the spectrum of disciplines. ..
this is the first english-language book to present aulenti's work. photographs, drawings, and plans illustrate the designer's work in all mediums, and aulenti's contemporaries -- vittorio gregotti, germano cclant, franco raggi -- as well as other critics, and aulenti herself, provide illuminating texts that discuss both her career and influences, and her individual projects. this long-awaited volume belongs on every architect, student, and designer's bookshelf. ...
