Ernesto Nathan Rogers

[3] Rogers, together with Gian Luigi Banfi, Ludovico Belgiojoso and Enrico Peressutti, in 1932 formed an architectural partnership in Milan, Italy named BBPR.

With these partners, they engaged in a variety of activities, including writing, public speaking, and consulting in addition to their architectural pursuits.

[1] In the post-war period Rogers distinguished himself from his partners through his work as journalist, critic and architectural publicist.

He co-edited Quadrante from 1933 to 1936, and as a prolific writer, as well as architect, he was instrumental in the establishment of Italian rationalism (it: razionalismo).

Rogers's major contribution to European architectural polemic, and the Italian neo-liberty debate in particular, was through his editorship of Casabella from 1953 to 1964.
