What we do

The  Pier Luigi Nervi Project Association is a non-profit organisation which was founded four years ago with the objective of contributing to a renewal of study and knowledge about the life and work of the Italian engineer and architect Pier Luigi Nervi.

Headed by Marco, one of the grandchildren of Pier Luigi Nervi, the association  is engaged in coordinating the scientific research and financial support that allowed the birth and development of the international traveling exhibition “Pier Luigi Nervi Architecture as Challenge“.

In addition to this exhibition which is being enriched with content as the research progresses and develops along its international itinerary, the association intends to engage in several other areas: It prefigures the new edition of the Norton Lectures given by Pier Luigi Nervi at Harvard University in 1962, in anticipation of a more extensive recovery of Nervi’s writings.

Besides  different educational activities and ongoing research projects like the NerViLab, the commitment of the Pier Luigi Nervi Project will focus on the conservation and rehabilitation of structures by Nervi, not only in Italy but also on an international level, with the hope of contributing to a scientific awareness and  protection of architectural heritage of Modernity, of which the structures by Nervi remain among its highest expressions.
