Giuseppe Terragni

Italian architect (1904-1943)

Giuseppe Terragni belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Giuseppe Terragni as Italian architect (1904-1943).

Giuseppe Terragni was born at Meda in 1904. His recorded nationality is the Kingdom of Italy. He was educated at Polytechnic University of Milan.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.

Giuseppe Terragni is described as architect, designer and urban planner.

Among his principal works are Casa del Fascio (Como), casa del fascio and Danteum. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

That the work was done from the Kingdom of Italy matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Death came in 1943, at 39. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
