London , United Kingdom … My aim is to propose architecture capable of addressing programs of varying scale and complexity. The experience I have both in public competitions and private assignments permits me to create architectural works as the result of a deep reflection, which is not only functional and structural but also conceptual in its most abstract meaning. In my designs nothing is casual, looking for clarity -which doesn't mean simplicity -the projects are intricate, complex, but not complicated. I try to create buildings for living, and where the user feels comfortable; achieving this with many hours of reflection and by combining the different disciplines involved in the development of architecture. My method of making bioclimatic or ecologically conscious architecture isn't only the result of the application of special technologies, but above all the implementation of a logic directed at the suitableness and the positive utilization of environmental conditions, held throughout the development of the project, the building work, the life of the building and its utilization.
