International Exhibition on Pier Luigi Nervi
Recognized as one of the greatest and most inventive structural engineers of the twentieth century, Pier Luigi Nervi was part of a glorious period in structural architecture. His masterpieces are scattered the world over. Nikolaus Pevsner, the distinguished historian of architecture, described him as the most brilliant artist in reinforced concrete of our time. Nervi shared the cultures of architects and engineers, operating at the intersection of art and the science and technology of building. He contributed significantly to create -- with other eminent practitioners such as Spain's Eduardo Torroja -- a real poetry of concrete that strongly permeated the subsequent culture of the concrete design. Nervi was an Honorary Member of ACI, American Institute of Architects, American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, Royal Academy of Fine Arts Stockholm, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, International Institute of Arts and Letters of Zurich, International Association for Shell Structures, Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers, College of Architecture of Peru, Royal Academy of Arts, and Franklin Institute.
