De Carlo, Giancarlo
(b Genoa, 12 Dec 1919). Italian architect and urban planner. He graduated in engineering at the Polytechnic in Milan in 1942, took an active part in the wartime resistance movement and subsequently studied at the Istituto Universitario di Architettura in Venice (Dip.Arch., 1949), where, on the invitation of Giuseppe Samonà, he became Professor of Urban Design in 1955. He took part in the debate on Rationalism led by the Movimento di Studi per l’Architettura and collaborated with Piero Bottoni and others on designs for the experimental area Quartiere T.8 (QT8) at the VIII Triennale in Milan (1946–7). He set up his practice in Milan in 1950. These experiences helped form his idea of architecture as part of a complex system of interrelationships that develop for social reasons, and through politico-economic means, and expand to encompass both urban and country planning.
