==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>[https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/feb/15/eduardo-catalano-obituary 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>
