Summary:

"Lead by Cristiano Picco, the Turin firm PICCO architetti boasts 30 years of experience and commitment to urban landscape design, regeneration projects, and the renovation of abandoned buildings.Published by THE PLAN Editions - Gruppo Maggioli with texts in Italian and English, the monograph PICCO architetti. Fostering a Culture of Design and Construction examines the projects that the studio has been involved in since the 2000s - that is, when the practice expanded its operations from the local dimension to the rest of Italy and abroad. PICCO architetti: the "relevance of the project"The city of Turin and surrounding areas are common themes in PICCO architetti's portfolio, with projects on different scales, from masterplans to architecture. All its projects are distinguished by an analysis of the "relevance of the project" in terms of its setting, its historical and social contexts, and the complex relationships at work.The way architecture dialogues with history has been a focus of the studio for many years. It can be seen in a series of projects in which, besides restoration and conservation, there is an emphasis on "retroactively updating" existing buildings. This is an approach that rethinks and updates the role and identity of historical buildings with contemporary uses.The studio has designed numerous residential projects, from public housing to retirement homes, and new hybrid urban models for students and young people" -- https://www.theplan.it/ viewed November 25, 2025.
