Bruno Zevi (22 January 1918 9 January 2000) was an Italian architect, historian, professor, curator, author, and editor. Zevi was a vocal critic of "classicizing" modern architecture and postmodernism. On finishing school in 1933, he enrolled at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Rome. Due to the anti-Semitic laws, Zevi was forced in 1938 to abandon his studies, and so left for London, UK, before moving to the United States. Zevi graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, then under the directorship of Walter Gropius. While in the US he discovered the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, which became one of the bases for his championing of organic architecture. In 1944, he founded the influential Association for Organic Architecture (APAO). The following year the magazine Metron-architecture reviewed his book Towards an Organic Architecture, which brought him international acclaim. In 1945, Zevi became Professor of Architectural History at the University of Venice. He became a professor at the University of Rome, and a member of the International Academy of Architecture (IAA) in Sofia, Bulgaria. This classic work (first published in Italian in 1948, translated in 1957 examines the history of architecture in light of its essence as space, animating and illuminating architectural creations so that their beautyor indifferenceis exposed. Along with commercial and dwelling units, temples, palaces, and cathedrals, Zevi treats structures such as fountains, columns, and monuments, subjecting them all to aesthetic, cultural, and functional criteria and explaining them in easily understood terms. Beautifully illustrated with examples from the entire history of the art, this is one of the most stimulating and provocative books ever written on the history and purpose of architecture. The Modern Language of Architecture is one of Zevi's most significant publications. In this book, Zevi sets forth seven principles or "antirules" to codify the language of architecture created by Le Corbusier, Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Wright. Zevi argued in Saper vedere l'architettura that space is essential for both the definition and appreciation of architecture. He also maintained that space is empty until it is occupied by visual messages. Zevi held that this space is animated by gestures and actions of those who inhabit it. He is also known as an advocate of the spatial ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright. Zevi participated in the influential International Architecture Symposium "Mensch und Raum" (Man and Space) at the Vienna University of Technology (Technische Universität Wien) in 1984. In place of the classical language of the Beaux Art school, with its focus on abstract principles of order, proportion, and symmetry, he presents an alternative system of communication characterized by a free interpretation of contents and function, an emphasis on difference and dissonance, a dynamic of multidimensional vision, and independent interplay of elements, an organic marriage of engineering and design, a concept of living spaces that are designed for use, and an integration of buildings into their surroundings. Anticipating the innovations of postmodern architecture, Zevi argues forcefully for complexity and against unity, for decomposition dialogue between architecture and historiography, finding elements of the modern language of architecture throughout history, and discussing the process of architectural innovation.
