Livio Vacchini (February 27, 1933 – April 2, 2007) was a Swiss architect from Ticino.
The works of Livio Vacchini feature an extreme coherence of theme and practice.
Each project is conceived ideally as the continuation of the lines of research explored by modern architects of the classical tradition such as Auguste Perret, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Louis Kahn.
The most important values of his works lie precisely in their intentional "untimeliness": indifferent to novelty, interested only in respecting an inner coherence, detached, far from the chatter and gossip of the world of the architecture of our time.
Livio Vacchini designed houses, office buildings, schools, and community facilities in Switzerland and France.
