Giuseppe Parisi (*1989) graduated in the Architecture and Interior Design department of Aversa, Italy. He founded an Interdisciplinary Office after several experiences with different national and international practices in his hometown. The approach of his work explores the relationship between the Sense, the Form and the Materials. The goal of his idea is to achieve beauty characterized by few targeted choices. The areas of his work include design on various scales, from private houses to residential complexes, planning and requalification of public buildings, offices and accommodation facilities. In 2018 he received the NIB Under 36 Architecture Award and today he is among the young emerging italian architects.

I work as a teacher in the area of architecture history and a studio professor in the University of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (Udelar, Montevideo).

I am also a researcher at the Institute of Theory and Urbanism in the same University.

I direct a professional architecture office, along with two partners.

This is how my interests combine teaching with professional activity.

GG-LOOP BELIEVES THAT ARCHITECTURE, AS ANSWER TO A SPATIAL DEMAND, CANNOT BE MERELY FUNCTIONAL. EVERY SPACE NEEDS TO TELL A STORY.

Davide Marchetti received his Master’s in Architecture from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 2001 and joined the Massimiliano Fuksas Office in Rome upon graduation. The following year he became a member of the Italian Architects Registry, Chapter of Rome. In 2004, he began his own practice, specializing in architecture, urban planning and interior design. The office is driven by a consistent philosophical approach, not a predetermined style. It explores and develops new ways of thinking about architecture and the surrounding contextual environment in order to create models for change and innovation. Projects are approached with a comprehensive emphasis on environmental themes, materiality and cultural context. As a result, the studio aims to create specifically designed and detailed buildings that are deeply contextual with equal attention to function. High quality design results from the continuity of rigorous process and intensive dialogue with the client, consultants, contractors and inhabitants.Davide Marchetti has taught at Cornell University continuously from 2011, as a Visiting Critic in advanced design studios. He has been several times an invited critic at Pratt Institute, Syracuse University, Catholic University, University of Miami as well as at University of Rome La Sapienza and University of Pisa School of Engineering. He believes that the education of an architect manifests through a process; both the understanding and the application of the curriculum and studio discipline, as well as in the personal exploration of influences from multiple environments. These come from many sources, such as art and literature, science and medicine, history and economy. These conditions then consequently influence the scope of multidisciplinary practice that now permeates contemporary architecture. He is interested in fostering this environment, and adeptly responding to each students individual strengths, passions, and interests.

I am an impact design enthusiast passionate about a more equitable and just Africa. A firm believer in the potential and power of design processes and products to promote economic stimuli especially in under-served communities.

An alumnus of the African Design Centre in Kigali, a fellowship program by MASS Design Group that trains and empowers the youth to become creative design leaders, am currently working as a Designer at BuildX Studio that envisions a world made for people and planet by creating the buildings of a radically better tomorrow.
