In these pages I present my experiences as Architect, Designer and Design Manager.

The variety of  my architectural projects (from Housing/Hospitality to School and Public spaces, from Industrial buildings and offices to Exhibition stands and Interior design), and their scale (from the 400,000 sqm of the Master Plan for the East Side Development in Gibraltar, to the 9 sqm of the storage room converted into study room in Chelsea) well represents my approach to design: a taste for exploration, learning constantly, and daring to change, always.

The Qasbaum project (2013) is probably the sum of two leading aspects characterising my work: BIM and sustainability. The idea of timber modular system to create spaces for hospitality and working spaces to lead regeneration projects in urban neglected areas, is something I will materialise, sooner or later.

Between 2007 and 2014 I have been  lecturer at the Department of Architecture, teaching BIM to more than thousand of students and working on research projects. This seminal experience is presented and highlighted in the page dedicated to my lecturing and pubblications.

Creativity and method are the keys factors in design, whatever the project (architecture, furniture, graphic, teaching, research, etc). Even though it has never been my main focus, I really enjoyed my works as Graphic Designer, often as ancillary activity to other projects. I’ve collected here some of the experiences in this field and a more detailed portfolio is available at my Joomag page .

A certain dose of eclecticism emerges from these pages: the opposite of the excess of specialisation that, in my view, is annihilating the profession. However, I believe that whatever the project (big or small, simple or complex) the challenge is always the same: managing expectations along with budget, time, and people.

Any project requires both passion and rigour: this is the lesson I have learnt from 100 Projects along 20 years of activity and this is what I will apply in my next project.
