'''Eduardo Fernando Catalano''' (December 19, 1917 – January 28, 2010) was an [[Argentina|Argentine]] architect.
 
==Life and career==
Born in [[Buenos Aires]], Catalano camewent to the [[United States]] on a scholarship to the [[University of Pennsylvania]] and [[Harvard Graduate School of Design]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Eduardo Catalano obituary |date=2010-02-15 |website=[[The Guardian]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230101085125/https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/feb/15/eduardo-catalano-obituary |archive-date=2023-01-01 |url-status=live |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/feb/15/eduardo-catalano-obituary]}}</ref> In 1945, after earning his second master's degree in architecture returned to Buenos Aires where he taught at the University of Buenos Aires and ran a private practice. Catalano then taught at the [[Architectural Association]] in London from 1950 to 1951, when he came back to the United States as a Professor of Architecture at the School of Design in Raleigh, [[North Carolina State University]]. In 1956 he began teaching in the graduate program for [[MIT]], until 1977, when he moved on "to discover and participate in other endeavors as rewarding as teaching".<ref name="Catalano, E pages 7">Catalano, E: "Eduardo Catalano", pages 7&ndash;10. Officina Edizioni, 1978</ref>
 
Catalano had an "understanding of the indivisible relationship between space and structure", which earned him praise from [[Frank Lloyd Wright]], who wrote to ''House and Home'' magazine when he saw the publishing of the "Raleigh House" AKA the [[Catalano House]] to say "It is refreshing to see that the shelter, which is the most important element in domestic [[architecture]], has been so imaginatively and skillfully treated as in the house by Eduardo Catalano".<ref name="Catalano, E pages 7"/> Catalano sold the house when he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to teach at MIT. Years of neglect at the end of the 20th century culminated in the house's demolition in 2001.<ref>[http://www.jetsetmodern.com/catalano.htm Jetset &ndash; Designs for Modern Living: Catalano House &ndash; Destroyed Forever<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120106100500/http://www.jetsetmodern.com/catalano.htm |date=2012-01-06 }}</ref>
 
Other buildings designed by Catalano include the US embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in [[Pretoria]], [[South Africa]], the [[Juilliard School of Music]] at New York City's [[Lincoln Center]], Guilford County Courthouse in [[Greensboro, North Carolina|Greensboro]], [[North Carolina]], and the Stratton Student Center at [[MIT]] in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]], [[Massachusetts]]. (Catalano designed the Guilford County-Greensboro Government Center, not to be confused with the Guilford County Courthouse, designed by [[Harry Barton (architect)|Harry Barton]] from 1918 to 1920.)
 
The [[Catalano House]], built in 1954 and which Catalano is best known for, was designed using a [https://web.archive.org/web/20060213051924/http://www.paisajismoargentino.com/proyectos/3.htm hyperbolic paraboloid roof.] Here is a picture of the original [https://web.archive.org/web/20070705212651/http://ncsudesign.org/PDFs/house_large.pdf House.] The roof of the house, a curved structure that is built from straight elements (tongue and groove boarding) evolved from his studies on geometric and structural properties of hyperbolic paraboloids. These studies, which included testing of new materials like aluminum and thin-shell concrete, were published by the University of North Carolina in ''Structures of Warped Surface.''
 
Eduardo Catalano also created the environmental kinetic sculpture ''[[Floralis Genérica]]'' in [[Palermo, Buenos Aires|Palermo]], [[Buenos Aires]].
