Tutors

Giancarlo Guadagno and Ilaria Spagnuolo, an architect and a designer, respectively, joined forces in 2016 to launch a creative studio that explores the intersection of art, architecture, and the environment, designing public art installations that bring together aesthetics, nature, and sustainability. Their collaboration is characterized by in-depth research into materials, with a focus on those with a low environmental impact. Each project is an opportunity to tell local stories through installations that engage with the urban and natural context—works that invite communities to reflect on their relationship with the environment.
