Scandurrastudio tackles themes liked to the contemporary city and its transformations. Projects of design become opportunities for study of the meaning of the project.
The studio’s activity covers different scales of intervention, from strategies of territorial planning to urban, architectural, interior and exhibit design, as well as the artistic direction of corporate image and production at an international level.
The studio’s work is rooted in the belief that architecture, and more precisely the architecture of space, plays a fundamental role in the lives of human beings and their relationship with the world, and has an enormous power to define the individual. In this way questions and problems are accumulated that become a critical resource with which to tackle the opportunities for design.
Alessandro Scandurra was born in 1968. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano with a thesis on the urban revalorization of an area on the outskirts of Milan. Since 1993 starts a collaboration with the architect Umberto Riva, dealing with architectural design on a variety of scales: urban planning studies, landscape architecture, historical building preservation, exhibition installation design.
In 1997 designed the scenography for the opera Fidelio for the open air Berlin National Opera production commemorating the 3000th anniversary of the Jewish city of Jerusalem. Third in the competition for the new headquarters for Regione Lombardia in Milano. He developed
international projects in the areas of architecture and urban design, commercial outlets, corporate and industrial sectors, and some urban planning proposal for the city of Milano.
Now are in construction the new headqarters of Zurich Italia, a new complex in the historical center of Belluno, two termal power plants.
He has pursued his professional career in conjunction with
teaching at Politecnico and Naba in Milano, Supsi in Lugano, and research activities in the field of architecture.
