Pier Luigi Nervi

Japanese: ネルビ - ねるび(英語表記)Pier Luigi Nervi
Pier Luigi Nervi

Italian architect and structural engineer. He had a deep understanding of the characteristics of reinforced concrete and developed a dynamic, modern aesthetic. Born in Lombardy, he studied engineering in Bologna. He taught structural engineering at the University of Rome's Department of Architecture, but also achieved many outstanding results in practical design. As a structural engineer, he is known for his work with Breuer on the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris (1952), the Pirelli Building in Milan (1958) with Gio Ponti, and the National Industrial Center in Paris (1955). As an architect, he left behind notable examples such as the Belta Stadium in Florence (1932), the Exhibition Center in Turin (1949) and the Workers' House (1961). Even in the fields of bridges, silos, hangars, and other areas where architecture and structural engineering intersect, many of his works are highly regarded today. He died in Rome.

イタリアの建築家兼構造技術者。鉄筋コンクリートの特質に深く通じ、ダイナミックな現代性に富む造形美を展開した。ロンバルディアに生まれ、ボローニャで工学を学んだ。ローマ大学建築科で構造学を担当する一方、実作にも数多くの優れた業績を残した。構造技術者としては、ブロイヤーに協力したパリのユネスコ本部(1952)、ジオ・ポンティに協力したミラノのピレッリ・ビル(1958)、あるいはパリの国立工業センター(1955)などが知られる。建築家としても、フィレンツェのベルタ競技場(1932)、トリノの展示場(1949)と労働者会館(1961)など、注目すべき作例を残した。橋、サイロ、格納庫など、建築と構造技術の接点をなす分野においても、今日、高く評価される作例が少なくない。ローマに没。
