Paola Antonelli belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Paola Antonelli as Italian architect, curator, author, and educator.
Paola Antonelli was born at Sassari in 1963. Her recorded nationality is Italy. She trained at Polytechnic University of Milan.
Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.
She is recorded as architect, art historian and university teacher.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Lucky Strike Designer Award, honorary doctorate and National Design Awards.
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.
Paola Antonelli is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
