Gae Aulenti,
By Michael Webb (London, England > Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gae Aulenti (Universe Architecture Series) (Paperback)
Best-known for the hugely popular, fiercely criticized Musee d'Orsay in Paris, Aulenti has done several other museums (most recently in San Francisco), as well as houses, exhibition installations, urban improvements and opera sets. In her native Italy, where many architects never get to build anything larger than a chair, she's enjoyed a long and productive career-though legal maneuvering prevented her from realizing her winning design for the rebuilding of La Fenice opera house in Venice. A former associate on that project introduces and comments on a comprehensive pictorial survey of Aulenti's buildings, projects-and chairs. (Michael Webb is the book reviewer for LA Architect magazine.)
