ABOUT ME Born in 1989, architect and event organizer. After earning the Bachelor Degree in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano in 2011, I moved to Sweden in order to attend the first year of Master Degree in Architecture and Design for Sustainable Development at Chalmers University of Technology. Here I had the chance to examine the issue of sustainable architecture and to develop a deep interest in nordic design. In 2012, together with Team Sweden, I took part in the first phase of the Halo project, a solar-powered house for 4 students, which will achieve the 3rd prize in the Solar Decathlon China 2013 international competition.
In 2013, one year after my return in Milan, I started working on my master thesis project and, in the mean time, I began my professional partnership with Organisation in Design, the dutch studio that created Ventura Lambrate, the only fully curated exhibition district during the Milan Design Week. In April 2014 I ernead the Master Degree in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano, presenting the project “miraDouro, a student house in Porto�, with Mauro Galantino as supervisor. After this I continued the collaboration with OiD. This experience, which lasted in total 2 years of hard-working, allowed me to acquire some awareness concerning organization and communication.
