About us

The architectural office Area Architetti Associati was established in 2002 by a group of architects who brought together their professional skills, bringing together in the new studio different experiences and competences acquired during decades of practice in the field of freelance and employed work.

The professionals collaborate constantly through a dialectic exchange on all design ideas; for years a comparative method has been successfully applied, based on constructive dialogue and mutual esteem. From this comparison, projects emerge enriched, deepened, the result of clear objectives and never of compromises. Projects are often oriented towards research and experimentation, rejecting expressive falsehoods.

about us architects area

“From every era we have tried to discover the fundamental principles that lead to the formation of living space. Our architecture, born from the historical experience of rationalist modernism, has turned to the search for new experimentation and contemporary expressions, without however excluding references to a more remote historical past. It is therefore deliberately non-categorizable and stylistically indefinable: we operate in the conviction, drawn from experience, that following a stylistic guideline is not a strength but rather the sign of a limitation. Each project represents a specific universe because both, the conditions that require it and the architectural response must be specific.”

“We consider the provision of technical and functional solutions in accordance with the tasks set for us to be a necessary but not sufficient prerequisite. The main objective of the studio is to provide opportunities for transcendence and awareness even in the apparent banality of everyday life. Our main aim is to express the ‘truth’ of things. The lives of people, their movement, relationships, the social significance of places, the hierarchy of values and the relationship with nature become the expression of a critical consciousness that lies beyond the becoming of things.”
