Giuseppe Ciribini (20 January 1913 – 24 July 1990) was an Italian engineer and professor, considered the father of the discipline of architectural technology in Italy.

Giuseppe Ciribini was born in Milan on 20 January 1913. He studied engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan where he graduated in 1936 with a dissertation about Italian rural housing, supervised by Prof. Giuseppe Sacchi. During World War II Ciribini served in the Corps of Engineers of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force).

In 1948, after the war, Ciribini became professor of Elementi costruttivi (literally: building elements) in Milan. Later he moved to the Politecnico di Torino where, from 1966 on, he taught architectural technology. Besides Turin e Milan he also gave lectures in several others universities as in Venice, Ulm, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre and Algeri.

In addition to his academic activity Ciribini conducted a significant professional activity as researcher and manager of several public institutions and committees. Among the most relevant of these were the direction of some projects held by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, his cooperation with the Ente nazionale italiano di unificazione (the Italian representative organisation in ISO) and with the CEN). From 1955 to 1961 he directed the Comitato Italiano per la produttività edilizia (Italian committee for productivity in construction industry), sponsored by the European Coal and Steel Community.
