Franco Albini is widely recognized as one of the most influential and innovative Rationalist architects working in Italy in the 1930s and after World War II, particularly in the fields of museum, exhibition, and furniture design. Following the modernist incentive, he sought to achieve abstraction by heightening the essentiality of materials, space, and objects. His work is best characterized as both highly refined and minimal, the outcome of a sensitive and rigorous elimination of extraneous detail and unnecessary embellishment.Franco Albini: Architecture and Design 1934-1977 contains examples of Albini's and his associates (Marco Albini, Franca Helg, and Antonia Piva) architectural projects and urban designs, as well as exhibition, furniture, and product designs, it also includes a foreword by Ignazio Gardella and essays by Franca Helg, Stephen Leet, and Alberto Sartoris.
