De8 Architetti.
Unspecialized architecture
Mauro Piantelli,Carlo Vailati and Massimo Bressanelli graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano. They founded the De8_Architetti studio in the early 1990s in Milan, later deciding to move the firm to Bergamo.The firm works both in Italy and internationally, focusing on heterogeneous design topics: urban planning, residential, office, commercial, hotels, sports facilities, interior design, and exhibition museums.The opportunity to make frequently changes of scale, from urban design to construction detail, as well as the focus on different architectural topics, has become a characteristic of their professional practice: ‘unspecialised architecture’.The firm has been awarded several times, both in Italy and abroad. After participating in numerous collective architecture exhibitions, in December 2021 De8_Architetti inaugurated the first exhibition entirely dedicated to their architectural research.
