Philosophy

DEAMICIS ARCHITETTI was created in 2005 as a professional association between three architects, Giacomo De Amicis, Piero De Amicis and Bruna Rivolta, in order to create synergies between each individual's skills and competences.

They are active in every field of architectural planning, paying particular attention to the building's spatial values and investigating the relationship between their development and both their physical and non physical contexts.

DEAMICIS continuously reformulate their approach to work and planning in relation to programs, pre-existing features and environmental quality, thus maintaining their experimental and research-oriented planning approach. Many of their projects have won recognition and awards, with several books and magazines publishing their works.

They can also provide General Planner services through their specially constituted partner company MASASO s.r.l. Moreover they have developed a strong network of selected, high-profile, specialist planning companies to provide a variety of expert services to their clients (structures, systems and facilities, energetic behaviour, illuminating engineering, feasibility studies, security, fire-prevention, gardens, graphic design).
