They say about me “What fascinated me about Francesca’s work was her restlessness, her constant research and disposition to deepen into the topic. She speaks with her smile and with the satisfaction of who is seeking for a better world and of who believes that our work goes beyond any other thing.” João Mendes Ribeiro, architect “Francesca’s constant seeking of intelligent solutions for hers, and other peoples projects and problems, together with her fresh and positive attitude make for a great work environment and the strengthening of work with creative depth and viability.” Pedro Snow, POLIGONO architect co-founder
