In the history of building, Michele Valori is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Michele Valori as Italian urban planner and architect (1923-1979).
Michele Valori was born at Bologna in 1923. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at Sapienza University of Rome.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
He is recorded as urban planner and architect.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
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.
Michele Valori died in 1979, aged 56. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
