SELF Arquitectura is an architectural agency that operates internationally in Spain, Italy and Russia.
Directed by Giacomo Delbene and Massimiliano Giberti, together with Marika Roccabruna and Andrea Zampichelli, SELF offers the skills and the experience achieved by the partners during over twenty years of intense professional and research activity. The design of top projects at different scales, the participation and the awards in several international competitions, as well as the direction of teaching and research programs within leader universities, determine a specific approach to the profession. Being pragmatically anchored to the physical nature of the site and to the client’s inputs, engines of the project are the objective spatial quality of the proposed solutions, their economic, environmental and social sustainability, and the integration of the best tools, materials and methodologies that the RESEARCH has to offer to the MARKET.
The configuration of the design, communicative, constructive and maintenance processes into elements able to enhance the potential value of any commission enforces a methodology focused on the strategic capitalization of the resources.
Thus, reacting to the context, DESIGN is flexible to evolve over the time, accepting future requirements coming from the clients, as well as integrating new opportunities that the technological progress will make available. Keeping a positive and constructively critical attitude towards the Contemporary Architecture and the Real Estate Market, SELF turns any project into a challenging opportunity of RESEARCH and INNOVATION, gathering into the same evolutionary path different professional modalities, from direct commissions, to competitions, seminars, teaching and publishing.
DESIGN is always customized to client expectations, integrating the most convenient and appropriate technologic solutions for environmental and energetic sustainability. The teaching and publishing activities, fundamental tools in order to amplify and share the theoretical content of the adopted solutions, are key-elements for synthesizing the methodological and professional evolution, continuously and repeatedly dealing with new horizons and arguments.
