who I am

☼
Giovanna Albretti

 

Italian Architect with language skills, I work in different countries to tell, to design and to build houses, interiors and objects: My small contributions to the efforts of make this a better world.
After graduating at the Polytechnic of Milan and few years of design work in this city, that is my hometown, I started an international career, mostly to collaborate with important offices but also running my own projects, in Berlin, New York, Paris, Lyon and Lugano.

Beside architecture and management I work as a freelance editor with about thirty articles published in international Architecture and Design Magazines.

...

 

I am able to perform all phases of a project and to achieve results with method and discipline, precision and passion.

No unforeseen or foreign languages, no local building codes or complicated teams and construction site dust, can discourage my determination to bring the project to his best accomplishment.

The technical challenges of elaborated architectural artifacts does not attenuate my tension toward a sustainable beauty for built environment.

they say about me

☼

A good architect is much more than a creative maverick. Great architecture demands vision, first management skills, sensitivity to materials, diplomacy, curiosity for new techniques and respect for traditional ones, team spirit, patience, clarity, and a lot of passion. Ms Albretti is the rare individual that possesses this unique combination of qualities. I have been in awe of her flexibility and of the resolute attitude of her design.

Paola Antonelli, architect, MoMA's senior curator of Architecture and Design and director of R&D - New York US

Giovanna Albretti, is an architect, a solver of complexity, with the speed suggested by an organized and clear mind. For us of the Magazine Abitare, she has being an irreplaceable help to guide us, with culture and knowledge, in the labyrinths of the new architecture of northern Europe. Lively and determined in designing and realizing with technical competence, attentive prompter in imagining new things in the design field.
