Giorgio Grassi
Giorgio Grassi (born 27 October 1935) is one of Italy's most important modern architects, and part of the so-called
Italian rationalist school, also known as ''La Tendenza'', associated most famously with
Carlo Aymonino and
Aldo Rossi that emerged in Italy in the 1960s. Much influenced by
Ludwig Hilberseimer,
Heinrich Tessenow and
Adolf Loos, Grassi's architecture is the most severely rational of the group: his extremely formal work is predicated on absolute simplicity, clarity, and honesty without ingratiation, rhetoric, or spectacular shape-making; it refers to historical archetypes of form and space and has a strong concern with the making of urban space. For these reasons Grassi is a non-conformist and a critic of conventional mainstream architecture.
