The firm was established in Milan in 2006, joining the associates’ both professional and academic experiences. The practice - whose design research includes disciplinary tradition and experimentation - studies in depth the relationships between architecture and memory, its works focus on responsible forms of cultural restitution, even in reuse of historical buildings, interiors design, exhibitions
and museum projects, developing housing complexes and urban public space design. The core of the design process is based on issues like timelessness and rootedness in the context, exploiting the expressivity of materials, light, textures and details on every dimensional architectural scale. The research on detail with economic alternatives to mass production, amplifies the experience: each part takes part in everything. In the design of the interior of buildings and in fitting out exhibitions and museums, the quiet control of space, the precision in assembling the various elements and details of the design are the distinguishing features of an ideal continuity with the projectual approach of the modern architectural tradition: the detail is not an aesthetic issue, but a decisive contribution to the sense of space. Each project is based and continues on a principle of responsibility that corresponds with the essentiality of language, as in the case of the Memorial of the Shoah in Milan, within which all interventions are functional to a representation of an event and, above all, they are always measured by the void they have around, underlining the documentary and testimonial importance.
