AM/AS p. 362
Graduated in Architecture at Politecnico Milano, Franco Albini is known for
his rationalist projects in urban planning, buildings and museums: in 1931 his
first studio opened dealing with social housing and then devoted himself to
experimental design studies, debuting at the V Triennale in 1933. In the post-
war period, he broadened his professional interests thanks to the opportunities
offered by reconstruction and developed new design sensibilities thanks to his
partnership with Franca Helg in 1951. In the 1960s they designed the Milan
underground, which earned him the Compasso d'Oro 1964.
