Description
Vittoriano Viganò was born in Milan in 1919. His training took place between the Classical Studies and the Faculty of Architecture at the Politecnico in Milan, where he graduated in 1944. After obtaining the qualification to practice the profession, he carries out a short period of apprenticeship at the BBPR studio and subsequently opens his own professional studio. Contextually he began his work at the University. Over the years he has developed research on the primary types of residence and services, museum and theater, and on the relationship between space and objectl. Great importance also had the cultural environment in which Viganò is formedl: through his father Vico, painter and engraver, Vittoriano comes into contact with the artistic environment, that will allow him later to experiment the intertwining of the arts, as for instance the activity with Institutions, first of all the Triennale, the architectural project, and the collaborations with the companies of the Lombard production system (Arteluce, just to cite an example). In 1950s Gino Sarfatti entrusted the artistic direction of Arteluce to Viganò who marked that period and the future of the firm with his own style.
