Abstract
In this paper adapted from his 2019 James Sutherland History Lecture, Professor Thomas Leslie explores the aesthetic philosophy of Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi. Leslie shows how Nervi negotiated structural and fabricational 'truths' to create works that celebrated the onstraints that he practised within, earning acclaim as a 'poet in concrete'.
