Marcello Guido (born 1 January 1953) is an Italian deconstructivist architect.
Born in Acri, he is based in Cosenza, Calabria. [1] He trained as an architect at the Faculty of Architecture of La Sapienza University, Rome. [2] [3] He is a student of Bruno Zevi. [4] He is president of the Istituto Nazionale di Architettura (InArch) Calabria section [5] and a member of the Istituto's Administrative Board. [6]
He is regarded as an authority on the integration of contemporary architecture in the setting of Italy's historic city centres. [7] [8] His "forceful and courageous" [9] Piazza Toscana archaeological site project [10] in Cosenza was awarded the Dedalo Minosse Prize (Dedalo Minosse International Prize for Italian Architecture) Special Prize in 2002. [11] The dynamism of its conceptualisation has been favourably compared with that of the corkscrew lantern on the dome of Borromini's Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza. [12]
His work, representative of the deconstructivist style of architecture in Italy, [13] [14] is the subject of Cesare De Sessa [15] 's monograph "Marcello Guido, L'impegno nella trasgressione" ("Marcello Guido, Commitment in Transgression"). [16] [12] [17]
