Aurelio Galfetti. Fare fino in fondo il proprio mestiere
Academy of Architecture
This is the first publication of a wide selection of texts by Aurelio Galfetti, one of the leading Swiss architects of the 20th century and the first director of the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio. The collection focuses on the main themes that guided his thinking and design work: the profound ethical imperative, the territorial dimension attributed to architectural work, the role assigned to infrastructure design as an opportunity for orderly territorial development, and the idea that training young architects means first and foremost nurturing their critical spirit and encouraging them to do their job thoroughly, without preconceptions and with the generosity that, moreover, shines through in each of these texts.
