With 20+ years of experience in the Architecturalfield I experienced design from concepts tocompletion in several areas of the world.

A constant commitment, driven by a passionateapproach to design, brought me to discoveramazing architectural challenges.Standing buildings, I have been pleased to design,are the witnesses of my professional career.

Leading a design process from concept tocompletion needs the strong motivation that Ialways tried to transfer to the working teams.Inspiration, open discussion, common goals arealways key factor to manage a project.

No really matter where I have been, I experiencedArchitecture as a wonderful combination of culturaljourneys and “problem solving” attitude. Keep themtight accordingly to client requirements wouldalways give the right path to follow.

Design is still a learning process impelling a focusedreading of the human behaviours and “lifestyle”.
