As a designer architect , I worked on this project from preliminary sketches to providing 2d Auto CAD designs and making 3d Architectural models using Autodesk 3d Studio MAX and Autodesk REVIT Architecture. After render effects and touches are made by Photoshop.

I did the lighting study and rendering these two blocks and finally I wrote the technical report for the client.
ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION
ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION As an important part of the European cities and major part of the Italian cities is composed of historical buildings, reinserting these important resources into the present urban context is a n interesting challenge. I did my PhD studies in the conservation of architectural heritage and during my academic and professional career, I developed my knowledge of revitalisation of historic buildings and adaptive reuse them into modern context.
ARCHITECTURAL RESIDENTIAL CONVERSION
Architectural conversion Converting old and abandoned industrial lofts to modern residential units is an ever-growing trend in architecture nowadays. During my career I developed numerous projects of architectural conversion.

INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECTS
Furniture and interior design As part of my professional career; I did some art installation and museum design projects. Designing an effective storytelling pathway with the maximum usage of the interior space is the important challenge of museum design which I faced.
Furniture and interior design My architectural work does not stop by finishing the project design; actually an important part of works starts right after establishing the exterior profile of the project. My interior design experiences include: -counselling the client for furniture and decoration; -Choosing accurately material for decorating empty interiors; --Helping the client to combine new furniture with existing ones.
OFFICE design
Parallel to house interior design projects , I did some Office interior design projects.

Home staging
As an interior designer, I also developed my home staging capacity for the clients who want to sell their property. By very simple artistic touches, I actually contribute in adding extra value to their existing property.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
Architectural competitions I participated in different architectural competitions in Italy and Europe. Architectural competitions are in my opinion personal idea challenges and concept generating opportunities which an architect can have to refresh his mind and his hand.
Freehand sketching The architect always thinks via his/her pencil and his/her hand is the most powerful of transmitting the ideas. All projects always raise from architect's sketches.
Teaching experiences During my professional career I taught architecture for 3 years in associated degree level; I focused on the exhibition and museum design. These are some student works examples.
