| A thorough documentation of the projects and accomplishments of Studio De Ferrari Architetti in the field of enviroment definition. From the design of objects and facilities (mass-produced or tailor-made) to the planning of urban design projects, from the identification of strategies for the definition of the urban image to architectural projects, Studio De Ferrari has always faced design (on different scales) paying the greatest attention to the context, considered as functional, expressive parameter. Concepts such as Enviromental Image or Urban Design (which in other cases prove abstract) are faced with the actual meaning of design for an improved quality of urban life. |
