Associates Architecture is an architectural office founded in Brescia in 2017 and directed by the Italian-South African duo composed of Nicolò Galeazzi (Brescia, 1987) and Martina Salvaneschi (Johannesburg, 1989). The studio works in the field of architecture at multiple scales and has currently completed projects in Brazil, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Portugal.
Associates Architecture has been invited to participate in the 16th and 17th Venice Architecture Biennials in the Italian pavilions Arcipelago Italia and Comunità Resilienti, to the 12th São Paulo Architecture Biennial, Todo dia/Everyday, to the 5th Lisbon Architecture Triennial in the exhibition Economy of Means, and to the exhibitions 10 architetture italiane and Premio Italiano di Architettura 2023 at the Triennale di Milano.
The office has also been invited to give lectures and serve as a visiting professor at the main Italian and European universities, and has received important prizes and awards in both Italian and international contexts.
PROFILE. The office is conceived as a laboratory where practice, architecture and craftsmanship intersect. We work through a process that aims to investigate the primary idea of things, starting with an understanding of the place and cultural context in which we are called to operate. The process subsequently moves through a patient work in which we investigate the possibilities of an architecture that we want to be the bearer of memory and identity of the places where we operate.
