About me
I am a 25 years old italian architect.
During my studies I always tried to be a careful and aware designer.
Since it's fundamental to consider the context you operate in, in addition to the environmental and social impacts that every project generates, I base my modus operandi on a deep site analysis.
I am used to work in team, so I developed strong organizational skills. Furthermore, working with deadlines accentuated my aptitude to problem solving and my optimism even under pressure.
The experiences abroad contributed to open my mind and to develop my languages.
Currently I live in Amsterdam, where I am working in an international company that covers the full spectrum of the architectural field through several scale projects.

Aptitude
Passion for Architecture is a constant in my life, which goes on with my formation.
My favourite themes are all about sustainability: environmental, economical, social.
In the planning process the phase of analysis and concept are the ones where I feel more talented, but I can also handle the other phases, including the physical elaboration of a project.
In the urban-architecture-design huge panorama, the subjects I know and like more are public space, landscape design, temporary exhibitions, shops, installations.
In the end, an inclination which is at the same time pleasure, dream and passion is reading and writing about architecture.
