CEO of Roland Baldi architects

The architectural studio Roland Baldi is active in architecture and urban planning, but also covers the fields of interior and landscape architecture as well as design. The projects - for the most part following successfully entered competitions - span over a large variety of different architecture manifestations including industrial, commercial and residential buildings, urban planning, infrastructure, buildings for educational purposes and a variety of other studies up to furniture design. The architect’s office is working under the motto „simple but different“ and focuses its attention on sustainability. Many of the implemented projects have been awarded with national and international architecture awards and presented in reputable exhibitions (i.a. Biennale of Architecture São Paulo 2012, Biennale of Architecture Venice 2006, 2014 e 2018, „New Architecture in South Tyrol 2006-2012“, solo exhibition in the Prisma Gallery in Bolzano 2012, alpitecture meets biennale 2014, Premio Architettura Città di Oderzo , South Tyrol Architecture Award 2013, best architects award 2014, Iconic Award 2014 e 2016).

"Architecture is a dangerous mixture of power and impotence."

( Rem Koolhaas )

I seek qualities integrating complexity and rationality and diversity and consistency in designs. I also appreciate computational / algorithmic design thinking with sophisticated techniques or insightful visions. 

When establishing a design, every architect will consider what exactly they want to communicate by it.

Personally I search the Purpose of a design.

It is to decide on a strong focal point that will drive all the architectural system, draw everybody’s attention and create that perfect balance and rythm. This purpose or concept reflects in the design creating this way new buildings and the spaces in and around them. A living organism!

Originally I chose it because it's a very creative profession, plus the fact that you could have something that you've designed realised in real life. As time progressed, I began to be intrigued by how buildings could affect the way we live, our mood and behaviour.Structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. ... Abstract structures include data structures in computer science and musical form.
