Comme beaucoup de sa génération, il hésite entre le langage commun et normatif du courant international et les approches diversifiées qu’inspire le contexte local. Prenant ses distances avec les théories et les modèles dominants hérités du mouvement moderne, et renonçant à reproduire invariablement un standard architectural, il préfère ouvrir ses réalisations à des éléments de cultures régionales et nationales et rattacher chacun de ses projets à l’histoire et à la géographie de leur propre site. Fidèle à ce courant historiciste, il se fait théoricien de l’urbanisme, notamment à travers son magistral Territoire de l’architecture (L’Equerre, 1982).

Née en 1927, elle apparaît sur la scène internationale de l’architecture contemporaine comme une personnalité complexe, qui explore transversalement et tout à la fois l’architecture, le design industriel, les arts graphiques, l’architecture intérieure, la muséographie et la scénographie. Les édifices, les objets, les musées, les intérieurs ou les décors qui portent sa signature témoignent tous d’une conception du métier d’architecte ouverte aux expérimentations les plus novatrices. Paradoxalement, ce sont ses réalisations “en intérieur” qui proposent des espaces les plus “urbains” : la réhabilitation en institution muséale de la gare d’Orsay à Paris (1980-1986), une des oeuvres qui ont contribué à la renommée de l’architecte, n’est autre qu’un parcours urbain, composé de rues et de places, à la fois lieu de déambulation et de halte. Et à Orsay comme dans chacune de ses réalisations, Gae Aulenti travaille sur le thème du détournement et de la subversion de tout principe hiérarchique entre figure et fond et entre espace interne et espace externe.
