Founded in Florence in
1988 by Laura Andreini,
Marco Casamonti and
Giovanni Polazzi, Archea
Associati is today a
network of more than 100
architects who work in
the 6 branches located in
Florence, Genoa, Milan,
Rome, Dubai and Beijing.
The interests and research
activities of the firm
range from the landscape
to the city, from construction
to design; the projects
vary from graphic design
to publishing, from exhibitions
and to events. The
complementariness and
transition from a variety
of scales ranging from
criticism to the building
site, makes it possible to
operate in a manner that
contemplates all aspects
and elements of architectural
design. The founding
partners were joined in
1999 by Silvia Fabi who
coordinates the design
activities of Studio Archea
in Florence, in 2001 by
Gianna Parisse on the
occasion of the creation
of the Rome branch, in
2004 by Massimiliano
Giberti who is in charge
of the Genoa branch and
in 2005 by Marco Zuttioni
following the opening of
the Beijing branch, sited
in downtown Beijing, in
the Nanxincang International
Plaza building.
