Giuseppe Pagano is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Giuseppe Pagano as Italian architect (1896-1945).
Giuseppe Pagano was born at Poreč in 1896. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy. He trained at Polytechnic University of Turin.
Modernism rejected ornament and historical style, arguing that a building should express its structure and its function - a claim contested ever since.
He is recorded as architect, designer and photographer.
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.
Giuseppe Pagano died in 1945, aged 49. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
