Carlo De Carli

Carlo De Carli (1910-1999) was not only an architect and designer who profoundly influenced design in the 20th century, but also one of the leading and most respected professors in Italy, leaving a fundamental trace of theoretical considerations and behavioural ethics in a whole generation of architects.

Carlo De Carli studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milan in 1934. He then served as Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at this university from 1965 to 1968 and taught there until 1986. During his career he worked with the legendary architect and designer Gio Ponti and later set up his own studio, where his designs quickly became widely recognised.
