In the history of building, Carlo Ratti is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Carlo Ratti as Italian architect (born 1971).
Carlo Ratti was born at Turin in 1971. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at University of Cambridge and Polytechnic University of Turin.
Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.
He is recorded as architect, engineer and inventor.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
Recognition followed: Fulbright Scholarship.
That the work was built in Italy shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Carlo Ratti is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
