How is a new idea born? Where do we start work on a new project?
There are countless answers to these questions. Sometimes, an idea or a feeling are enough. Other times, deep reflection is what’s needed. Other times again, a careful analysis of the setting brings the best results

Hospital architecture is a particularly complex process, demanding exacting planning at every level, from the dimensions of rooms to the construction details. It is, of course, an extremely specialized sector, the importance of which everyone is now aware of in the wake of the pandemic. While architects are constantly balancing art and technique – the two faces of architecture – striking this balance in the design of healthcare facilities is one of architecture’s biggest challenges. How can concepts such as sustainability, integration with nature, and social inclusiveness be expressed in a hospital?

New experiences are a fundamental part of life. They’re a basic need that, after over a year of lockdown, we’re feeling more keenly than ever. One of the most fascinating things about architecture is precisely that it can create new experiences for the people for whom it’s designed.

Transformation doesn’t mean cancelling what has been. On the contrary, part and parcel of it is a desire to preserve the essence of the past to hand it on to future generations in those forms and functions that are best suited for the inevitable changes in society. In this way, historic buildings aren’t doomed to life as tourist attractions but can be transformed into vital, active places.
