Marcello Guido

Marcello Guido (born 1 January 1953) is an Italian deconstructivist architect.

Born in Acri, he is based in Cosenza, Calabria.^[1] He trained as an architect at the Faculty of Architecture of La Sapienza University, Rome.^[2][3] He is a student of Bruno Zevi.^[4] He is president of the Istituto Nazionale di Architettura (InArch) Calabria section^[5] and a member of the Istituto's Administrative Board.^[6]

He is regarded as an authority on the integration of contemporary architecture in the setting of Italy's historic city centres.^[7][8] His "forceful and courageous"^[9] Piazza Toscana archaeological site project^[10] in Cosenza was awarded the Dedalo Minosse Prize (Dedalo Minosse International Prize for Italian Architecture) Special Prize in 2002.^[11] The dynamisim of its conceptualisation has been favourably compared with that of the corkscrew lantern on the dome of Borromini's Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza.^[12]

His work, representative of the deconstructivist style of architecture in Italy,^[13][14] is the subject of Cesare De Sessa^[15]'s monograph "Marcello Guido, L'impegno nella trasgressione" ("Marcello Guido, Commitment in Transgression").^[16][17][18]
