George Joseph Ranalli (born 1946) [1] is an American modernist architect, scholar, curator, and fellow of the American Institute of Architects. [2] He is based in New York City. [3]
A native of The Bronx, New York, [4] of Italian American descent, [5] he was inspired to become an architect at the age of about 13 when he saw the then-unfinished Guggenheim Museum, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. [6] Ranalli attended Mount Saint Michael Academy high school in New York City and graduated in 1964. [7] From 1967 to 1968, he attended New York Institute of Technology, and Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, where he received a Bachelor of Architecture in 1972. [8] Thereafter, Ranalli attended Harvard Graduate School of Design, Cambridge, Massachusetts, earning a Master of Architecture in 1974. Upon graduation, he traveled on a research grant throughout Europe before returning to New York. [6]
Ranalli founded his firm, "George Ranalli, Architect", in New York in 1977. [9] Early on, architecture critic Paul Goldberger described Ranalli in a New York Times article as one of the "better younger architects" working in the Modernist idiom. [10] Goldberger stated that Ranalli's designs were tied "as closely to the ancient craft of building as to the modern business of churning out huge commercial projects, yet they bespeak a consistent awareness of the realities of our age as well." [11] In 1991, Michael Sorkin described Ranalli as "a creator and preserver of worlds, a precisionist." [12] Ranalli is credited with carrying forward the lessons of Italian architect Carlo Scarpa into new settings. [13] [14] Architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable wrote that Ranalli's "purpose is to move modernism into an enriched and more deeply referenced style." [15] In 1996, Yale University granted Ranalli a Master of Arts degree, honoris causa. In 2015, Architectural Record described Ranalli's career as a Gesamtkunstwerk. [16] Ranalli's industrial design objects, such as door hardware, furniture, and glassware are recognized as art. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] The firm George Ranalli Architect is credited with innovating total design concepts for interior architecture and furniture design. [22]
Ranalli has been exhibited in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, [44] Whitney Museum of American Art, [45] MoMA, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, [46] American Craft Museum, [47] Skyscraper Museum, [48] Architectural League of New York, [49] American Institute of Architects, [50] Sperone Westwater Fisher gallery, [51] Artists Space, [52] and The Drawing Center. [53]
Throughout the United States, Ranalli has contributed to exhibitions at Bass Museum, [54] Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, [55] Denver Art Museum, [56] Indianapolis Museum of Art, Yale University, [57] The Art Institute of Chicago, [58] Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, [59] Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, [60] Otis Art Institute, [61] and the Library of Congress. [62]
International exhibitions of Ranalli's work include Centre Pompidou, [63] Canadian Centre for Architecture, [64] Museum of Finnish Architecture, [65] XVII Triennale di Milano, and Design Museum, Helsinki. [66]
Ranalli has received professional awards from the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 2015, [67] the New York Society of Architects, [68] New York Foundation for the Arts, [69] and the Architectural League of New York. [70] [71]
Between 1969 and 2015, Ranalli received design awards from the Society of American Registered Architects; [72] [73] American Institute of Architects, [74] [75] [76] [77] and Progressive Architecture. [78] In 2015, he received the Stanford White Award. [79]
Ranalli was a professor of architectural design and visual studies at Yale University School of Architecture & Environmental Design for 23 years, from 1976 to 1999. [80] From 1987 to 1999, Ranalli along belonged to the fellowship of Morse College at Yale University. [81] [82]
Ranalli has been a visiting professor of architectural design and drawing at colleges and universities, such as Boston Architectural Center, Rhode Island School of Design, [83] University of Illinois at Chicago, Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, [84] and Cooper Union. [85] [86]
From 1999 to 2017, Ranalli ran the architecture department at the City College of New York. [87] In 2005, he was honored with the Renaissance Award from the Alumni Association of the City College School of Architecture. [88]
Ranalli is known for work in the areas of architecture curation.
