Francesco Saverio Cavallari is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Francesco Saverio Cavallari as Italian architect (1809-1896).
Francesco Saverio Cavallari was born at Palermo in 1809. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy. He trained at University of Göttingen.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as art historian, archaeologist and architect.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Italy shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Francesco Saverio Cavallari died in 1896, aged 87. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
