The studio addresses the themes of the city
its multiple territories,
the architectures that make them up,
the technologies that help them to become reality,
explored in their duality of functional
of functional performance content and
and morphological-compositional synthesis.

The combination of theoretical activity and design practice pursues the identification of a cultural scenario of reference through professional activity and research intended as a place of verification and further investigation of the architectural and construction phenomenon, filtered through a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary reading of the profession of architect divided between humanistic culture and scientific culture.

The profession of architect is declined in the field of design applied to the urban, architectural and building scale throughout its life cycle.

Landscape, sustainable development and technological innovation are the main elements of comparison of the design method applied to the complexity of contemporary places, spaces and phenomena.

The firm, founded in 1990, was reconfigured as of 1 August 2011 to reflect the changes introduced by legislation on the organisation of universities and the legal status of university lecturers.
