    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #402

    Question

    Elegant and complex, the concrete ribbed vaults of the Communal Stadium in Florence (1932), the hangar at Orbetello (1938), and the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome (1960) are the work of which designer? Note: He preferred to describe himself as an engineer rather than an architect.

    Answer

    Marked by bold engineering and expressionist shapes, these buildings were designed by Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979).
