The environment we live in nowadays is very complex and the architect is forced to work on the existing heritage paying particular attention to its sustainability and considering the environment together with the built heritage as a resource to protect.

High-quality architecture always contains a reference to historical and contemporary global architecture. Italy is the best place for the exploration of the origin of Architecture and at the same time the observation of avant-garde design in the new works of amazing world-class architects. Moreover, the Innovative Concept of our Master of Architecture, the combination of theory with real international work which we have realized in five venues in the world develops a new approach to the course: "Study in work environment" where all the lectures will apply directly to the adventure of real work with its complexity and its fascinating combination of materials, space, light, functions, and construction.

We are a Design atelier based right outside the Historical center of Florence, in Via Degli Artisti, an area that hosts several creative studios.

Urban Vision and architectural Design are in Cities, territories, and rural and urban systems that make up the built fabric that connects people and places. This milieu is constantly shifting due to geopolitical and cultural trends; perceiving it and changing it is a complicated undertaking. Change comes about thanks to strategies that transform the landscape, methodologies that regenerate urban areas, and design concepts that delineate public and private spaces.
