Giancarlo De Carlo (december 12 1919 - June 4 2005) was an Italian architect.
He was born in Genoa, Liguria in 1919. He trained as an architect from 1942 to 1949, a time of political turmoil which generated his philosophy toward life and architecture. Libertarian socialism was the underlying force for all of his planning and design.
De Carlo saw architecture as a consensus activity. He generated his designs from the inherent conflict that occurs in the site and historical context of architecture. His ideas linked C.I.A.M. ideals with late twentieth century reality.
Although his political beliefs have limited his portfolio of buildings, his ideas remained untainted by postmodernist beliefs through his journal Spazio e Società - Space & Society and through his class on the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD), as well as through his Team 10 colleagues.
He died at Milan in 2005.
