Projects

“The founders of Studio 5+1AA confront the contemporary in the way they address the relationship between territory, city and architecture, constructing this relationship as a representation of reality. The perception and the transformation of reality are, therefore, the keys to a conception of architecture as both body and idea, at once real and emotional, pragmatic and sensual, acceptable and yet also capable of engendering wonder as a catalyst of new understanding.”

They first designed the University Campus of Savona, the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior in Rome, the Palazzo del Ghiaccio e dei Frigoriferi Milanesi in Milan and the Fiera Milano business headquarters.
