FRANCO ALBINI
...
Franco Albini established his design studio in Milan in 1930, after studying architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. Like many Italian-trained architects, he was multi-faceted, as was his career. He edited Casabella, designed for Cassina, Poggi, Arflex, Pirelli, Siemens and Fontana Arte, and taught architecture at Venice's Instituto Universitario di Architettura, the Facoltà di Architettura in Turin and at his alma mater, the Politecnico di Milano. A much-honored designer, Albini received several Compasso d'Oro awards. He was a member of CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) and of INU (Instituto Nationale di Urbanistica), as well as an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects and an honorary designer for industry in London's Royal Society of Arts.
