GIANLUCA DISCALZI
I’m an Italian licensed architect with an international and multicultural background and experience in architectural design processes, project development and visual communication.
// CAREER OBJECTIVE Seeking for a position in an international architectural firm involved in any kind of project where to use my design skills and where to have the best opportunity to further enhance present professional experience and expand knowledge base on architectural designs, while growing with the organization.
I’m graduated from Architecture faculty of the Politecnico of Turin, one of Europe’s most renowned architectural institutes, and I have extensive working experience, most recently as a Team leader at Cairo-based Zaro Architects, and at Turinbased Serapioni Progetti. Since joining Zaro Architects, one of Egypt’s leading architecture offices (with projects around the country and across the Middle East) in December 2012 as an architect, I oversaw project such the OB 37 downtown (office building in the downtown area of Cairo), supervised the Downtown Recreational Area (cultural and recreational center) and the Cairo Kinder Hospital (an highly specialized hospital). After the Cairo experience I came back to Italy and joined Serapioni Progetti, an international architectural office based in Turin whit several hospitality projects spread all over the middle east, where I had the chance to work on the design of resort projects such as Marsa Wazar (Marsa Alam, Egypt) and Darbat Desert Development (Salalah, Oman). Meanwhile I’m keeping my freelance activities to increse my experience in different kind of projects such as international competition or private commissions. I strongly believe on innovative, creative and sustainable design projects, elements that are fast becoming my trademark. I’m looking for a position at an international architectural firm that would enable me to share and enhance my skills and expertise. GIANLUCA DISCALZI | WORKBOOK | 2012-2016
