XYZ, in addition to professional practice, has held conferences and workshops, both in Italy and all around Europe. In 2016, XYZ was visiting professor at the ESAD University of Matosinhos in Portugal and in 2019 was professor at the laboratory Spazi Sacri organized by Casabella and visiting professor at the Kent State University of Florence. The works of XYZ are published in the main Italian and international Architecture magazines and in the main internet platforms of the sector. “Our approach to architectural/landscape photography and video stems from an intense dialogue with the project, its author and the place that hosts them. We think that every architecture, every place and every personality have different features and peculiarities that must be understood in depth in order to be told and enhanced in the best way. Our critical approach, rather than impose itself, is guided by these factors”.
