Atelier Poem is an architecture studio founded in 2020 by Alice Cecchini and Roman Joliy, based in Urbino, Italy.
The name "Poem" comes from the ancient Greek words poíêma (creation) and poiéô (action), reflecting the studio's focus on concrete realization and the creation of unique architectural narratives.
The studio's design philosophy is based on creating works that weave together profound relationships between individuals and places, transforming the complexity of design parameters into simple and refined solutions. For Atelier Poem, architecture is a sensitive process that shapes materials and light according to their emotional capabilities, creating spaces rich in meaning and harmony.
They have won international competitions of varying scales and themes. Two site-specific works, built after winning the competition, are worth mentioning: “La Casa della Narrativa” for the Smach 2021 Land Art Biennial and “La Capilla de les Lléments” for the 5th edition of the Festival des Cabanes (2020).
In collaboration with C+S Architects and other architecture firms, Atelier Poem won an urban regeneration project in the Metrogorodok district of Moscow, commissioned by the Russian government (2021), and the Leiedal low-tech office competition in Kortrijk, Belgium, commissioned by Vlaams Bouwmeester.
