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.

MAIN FOCUS IS HOW IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN PROCESS ALL REQUIREMENTS AND FUNCTIONALITY IS CONNECTED. ITS ALL ABOUT DETAILS AND SOVLING ISSUES SMARTLY. 

An architect who believes in the ability of Architecture, its fundamental role in the development of countries, and positive impact on the environment. 

My main focus is sustainability ,universal design and shaping great forms with unique meanings.
