	Pier Luigi Nervi: shaping American architecture
		Pier Luigi Nervi's architectural innovations with concrete can be seen in America's schools, churches, domed stadiums and arenas; his influence on American architecture is undisputed.
		Nervi was born in 1891 in the Italian Alps town of Sondrio.
		Nervi was a contemporary of Mies Van Der Rohe and half a generation removed from Frank Lloyd Wright, two other pioneers in the use of steel and concrete in architecture.

		One of Nervi's few completed projects outside Italy is a superb example of the poetry he wrought from ferro-concrete.
		The structure — a station and attached parking lot, one of Nervi's few completed projects outside Italy — is a superb example of the poetry he wrought from ferro-concrete, exploring, as he put it, "the mysterious affinity between physical laws and the human senses."
		As in his better-known Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, Nervi revels in structural predetermination — the tracery of his vaults is as inevitable as the ribs of a wood canoe — and in the plasticity of ferro-concrete (his movable forms were made of the same material as the finished building).

		It is important to recognize that Nervi was a product of the Age of Reason, where architecture and engineering were considered separate and distinct disciplines.
		Nervi, however, was not influenced by his architectural colleagues.
		In Nervi’s obituary in Progressive Architecture, one of Nervi’s critics compared the bus station to the majesty of “an alighted butterfly.” In his later years, Nevi became a professor at the University of Rome.

		He used soft steel mesh within concrete to give it flowing form; for example, the Turin exhibition hall 1948–49, consisting of a single undulating large-span roof, the UNESCO building in Paris 1953–58, with Marcel Breuer and Bernard-Louis Zehrfuss, and the cathedral at New Norcia, near Perth, Australia, (1960).

	Pier Luigi Nervi - vita (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Nato a Sondrio nel 1891 si laureò a Bologna nel 1913 e con la sua copiosa e spesso geniale produzione di strutturalista si riallacciò alla tradizione ingegneresca nata con Eiffel e Maillart.
		Un ulteriore sviluppo di questi studi è rappresentato dalla copertura del salone per il Palazzo delle Esposizioni a Torino (1948), dove è compiutamente realizzata l'integrazione tra invenzioni strutturali e invenzioni architettoniche.
		Nella successiva serie di opere (compiute tra il 1953 e il 1961 ed in collaborazioni con altri architetti) la presenza di Nervi si afferma nella mirabile chiarezza delle strutture; del 1961 è la più famosa delle opere da lui progettate e realizzate: il Palazzo delle Esposizioni "Italia '61" a Torino.

		Con questo materiale si ottengono nervature sciolte, ricurve od ondulate di grande impatto visivo che caratterizzano l´intera sua opera, insieme a soluzioni audaci, rese possibili dall´uso del cemento armato che Nervi lascia spesso visibile, senza ricoprirlo di vari rivestimenti.
		Di nuovo a Torino Nervi e suo figlio Antonio si aggiudicano il concorso tenuto nel 1959 per la progettazione del Palazzo del Lavoro, da inaugurare per l´esibizione del 1961.
		I tempi ristretti dal bando alla realizzazione, 11 mesi soltanto, contribuiscono a scegliere la proposta di Nervi che grazie all´impiego di soluzioni modulari, consente una rapida progressione dei lavori.

	IL PONTE DI PIER LUIGI NERVI 1969
		Nervi ci voleva dire che fare un ponte "appeso" a cavi verticali innescava il famoso fenomeno dell'oscillazione del ponte che porta al crollo anche ponti più piccoli.
		Nervi calcolava le strutture dal carico che dovevano sopportare.
		Come potete notare formulò un progetto gigantesco, CON BEN 4 TORRI DI SOSTEGNO, totalmente diverso dal semplicistico ponte della FIAT spacciato per anni come il ponte dal minimo impatto ambientale, quando anche le foto ipotetiche erano artefatte e false.

		It was praised internationally not only as a feat of engineering but also for its design and economy, and the building demonstrated his ability to integrate function with abstract sculptural form, for example in the elegant interlaced helical supports of the external staircases.
		Between 1935 and 1942, again through winning a competition, Nervi designed a series of aircraft hangars for the Italian air force, the first of which at Orvieto (1938) determined their form: long pointed barrel vaults, constructed on latticed grids of light crossing members, rising from complex triangulated edge-beams.
		In these hangars Nervi produced the first version of his diamond-patterned lamella vault.

	Pier Luigi Nervi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Ingegnere e architetto italiano tra i più rappresentativi del nostro tempo, ispirandosi volentieri al Razionalismo del francese Le Corbusier e all'architettura "organica" dell'americano Wright, Nervi si è dedicato particolarmente allo studio dei problemi relativi alle costruzioni in cemento armato e quelle realizzate con elementi prefabbricati (fu infatti il primo ad adottarela prefabbricazione nelle grandi strutture).
		A lui si devono numerose opere fra le più notevoli dell'architettura moderna, tutte basate su ardite soluzioni tecnico-strutturali con le quali ha dimostrato di poter raggiungere anche pregevoli risultati estetici.
		Citiamo inoltre il "Bus Terminal" al George Washington Bridge di New York (1966) e l'Aula delle Udienze in Vaticano (1971).
