OFFICE PROFILE

OFFICE PROFILE

NAUTA architecture & research is an office operating in the fields of architecture, spatial planning and design research. Founded by Maurizio Scarciglia in 2007, after work experiences at OMA-Rem Koolhaas’s and Massimiliano Fuksas, the office developed an analytical method resilient to different cultural, political and economic conditions. This method allows the office to space across different geographical contexts and project scales, from regional planning and landscape to architecture and interior design. The office focus on green, blue and circular economy is the base of its multidisciplinary actions, capable of driving complex projects towards thoroughly structured planning frameworks and economic feasibility plans.
