Giorgio Grassi, born on October 27, 1935, in Milan, Italy, is a prominent Italian architect and a key figure in the Italian rationalist movement, also known as La Tendenza. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1960 and worked for the magazine Casabella-continuità until 1964. Grassi's designs are characterized by their formal simplicity and clarity, often utilizing exposed brick and square windows. Notable projects include the Student House at the University of Chieti (1976) and the restoration of the Roman Theatre in Sagunto, Spain (1985). Beyond his architectural practice, Grassi has contributed significantly to architectural theory, emphasizing the autonomy of architecture and its historical continuity.
