      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979) is the most famous Italian engineer from the twentieth century.  In 1952, having reached the peak of his career as a designer and entrepreneur in Italy, Nervi decided to enter the academic and professional world in the United States. Thus he undertook a path that would lead him to achieve fame in America: he promoted the circulation of his writings and works in the top American journals, strengthened his friendship with colleagues such as Pietro Belluschi, Marcel Breuer, Mario Salvadori and José Luis Sert, and held conferences in the most prestigious US universities. In 1962 Harvard University awarded him the Charles Eliot Norton chair. Between 1958 and 1976, thanks to the fame he had won, Studio Nervi succeeded in obtaining and managing important consultancy assignments for the construction of large structures in the United States. This book analyses how Nervi managed to export an idea of construction, characterized by unmistakably original buildings, of great commercial success. The twenty years of Studio Nervi's business in the United States embrace an important part of the history of the relations between post-war Italian engineering culture and American architectural and construction praxis as well as between academia and profession, and, not least, between clients and design studios.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Pier Luigi Nervi (1891-1979) è l'ingegnere italiano più celebre del XX secolo. A partire dal 1952, raggiunto l'apice della propria carriera di progettista e di imprenditore in Italia, Nervi decide di inserirsi nel mondo accademico e professionale degli Stati Uniti. Intraprende così un percorso che lo porta a costruirsi una fama oltreoceano: promuove la diffusione dei suoi scritti e delle sue opere sulle principali riviste americane, rafforza l'amicizia con colleghi quali Pietro Belluschi, Marcel Breuer, Mario Salvadori e José Luis Sert e tiene conferenze nelle più prestigiose università statunitensi. Nel 1962 la Harvard University gli conferisce la Cattedra Charles Eliot Norton. Tra il 1958 e il 1976, grazie alla notorietà raggiunta, lo Studio Nervi riesce ad ottenere e gestire importanti incarichi di consulenza per la costruzione di grandi strutture negli Stati Uniti. Questo volume analizza come Nervi sia riuscito a esportare un'idea di costruzione, connotata dall'inconfondibile originalità degli edifici realizzati, di grandissimo successo commerciale. Nel ventennio di attività condotte dallo Studio Nervi negli Stati Uniti è racchiusa una parte rilevante della storia dei rapporti tra la cultura dell'ingegneria italiana del dopoguerra e la pratica architettonica e costruttiva d'oltreoceano oltre che tra accademia e professione e, non ultimo, tra committenti e studi di progettazione.</p>
