Guido Canali

Guido Canali ( Sala Baganza , 24 October 1935 ) is an Italian architect

«Few architects like Canali have at the base of their work the dialogue, composed and almost absent-minded, with the matter of design and construction; a dialogue that starts from the reading of the physical traces of architecture to redefine, through a patient laborious reassembly, the signs of space, of the city and of the territory, accepting and translating the continuous references and memories that those signs evoke. ”

A scholar of Parmesan neoclassical architecture, he has developed research on the cities of Emilia and on the possible recoveries, documented in the exhibition “The Latent City” set up in Parma, in the Palazzo della Pilotta , in 1995.

Dry, synthetic and elegant,
the language that Canali has institutionalized in its conscious use of technology
reflects a profound reflection on the historicity of the Italian city,
outside any fashion or ephemeral stylistic convention. [ no source ]
