Dialogue with the alpine landscape. Congress and Exhibition Center by Studio Botter, Studio Bressan

Studio Bressan is an interdisciplinary architecture practice based in Montebelluna, in the province of Treviso, active for over forty years and currently led by architects Andrea and Emanuele Bressan. The studio operates in Italy and abroad, working across scales from urban planning to architecture, from restoration to interior design, following the entire design process from concept to completion. Its approach combines careful attention to context, environmental and economic sustainability, construction quality, and attention to detail. Alongside its core professional activity, which over the years has led the studio to independently manage large-scale projects, Studio Bressan actively participates in the contemporary cultural debate and has received national and international awards and publications. Studio Bressan was founded in 1980 by Gianni Bressan.

Andrea Bressan was born in 1980 in Asolo (Treviso). After completing a scientific high school diploma, he graduated with honors in Architecture from IUAV University of Venice in 2005, with a thesis supervised by architect and urban planner Giorgio Lombardi. After graduating, he collaborated with Professor Lombardi and architect Trevisan, and in 2006 began a professional and cultural path through the founding of Frammenti, a network of young professionals focused on participatory urban design. This activity led to recognition in several design competitions, particularly on themes related to urban housing. In parallel, he works as a consultant for the Municipality of Asolo on urban planning, urban regeneration, the livability of the historic center, and urban furniture.

In 2013, he took over the management of the studio founded by his father, Gianni Bressan, which became Studio Bressan.

In 2010, he obtained his Master’s degree with honors from IUAV, developing a project between Mendrisio and Venice.

From 2010 to 2017, he worked at Studio Mario Botta Architetto as a project architect and project coordinator, contributing to complex projects in the residential, cultural, tertiary, and infrastructural sectors across Europe and Asia. Between 2017 and 2019, he collaborated with Studio Stocker-Lee in Switzerland, working on international projects.
