Riccardo Dalisi belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Riccardo Dalisi as Italian architect and artist (1931–2022).
Riccardo Dalisi was born at Potenza in 1931. His recorded nationality is Italy.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
He is recorded as architect and artist.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
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.
Riccardo Dalisi died in 2022, aged 91. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
