Philosophy
Francesca strives for an architecture that aims to be meaningful and takes into account the complexity of social behavior and its necessity and at the same time contributes to a healthy, sustainable impact on the built environment.
Her work ranges from small-scale product design to larger-scale of neighborhood planning. She has explored the design and application of bio-based and reused materials following the principles of circularity such as design for disassembly, modularity, cradle-to-cradle design, and selective demolition. She has a great interest in designing with the support of digital fabrication, computational and generative design, climate analysis, and data representation.

She considers herself a lifelong learner, in the constant search for improving her personal and professional life to contribute to a kinder and more just way of living.
