Enrico Taglietti

Enrico Taglietti AO (16 April 1926 – 3 May 2019) was an Italian-born Australian architect, known for designing a number of acclaimed buildings in Australia.

He loved the unspoilt environment of Australia and ended up settling in Canberra from the early 1960s.

They are in a Modernist, sometimes Brutalist, late-20th-century Organic Style, designed "from the inside out", according to the architect, with an emphasis on atmosphere, light and poetry.

Taglietti was celebrated in 2018 as the featured architect of the Canberra Design Festival, with a whole day symposium dedicated to his work.

The aim of my architecture is to express the invisible, joy and music, silence, light and the desire to be”.
