Nowadays nothing is ultimately won. Everything needs to be constantly fought for. Good architecture doesn't come by itself although it is the most important part of social superstructure called culture. Architecture is not an economic activity pursuing the profit. It is more the enrichment of our society and brings sense to it. Good architecture doesn't bring survival but rather life itself in its most precious form. We are aware of the meaning of the nature and we protect it yet most of our life is spent in the cities, settlements and buildings created by human being. Therefore it is important to be inspired by man- made environment just as much as nature inspires us. To create ambience, atmosphere and views that enrich our lives. Good architecture can do all that.

Al giorno d'oggi alla fin fine niente è vinto. Si deve lottare costantemente per tutto. La buona architettura non viene da sé, sebbene sia la parte più importante della sovrastruttura sociale chiamata cultura. L'architettura non è un'attività economica che persegue il profitto. È più l'arricchimento della nostra società e dà senso ad esso. La buona architettura non porta sopravvivenza, ma piuttosto la vita stessa nella sua forma più preziosa: siamo consapevoli della natura della vita e di come viene costruita. Perciò è importante essere ispirati dall'ambiente creato dall'uomo proprio come la natura ci ispira. Per creare ambienti, atmosfera e punti di vista che arricchiscono le nostre vite. Una buona architettura può fare tutto questo.

      Architect

      Grado / Italy

      Michael founded Architect and Friends in 2007 and has extensive experience in residential, commercial and hospitality projects in Italy and abroad. His work is rooted in his sensibility for locations, spaces, proportions, quality of materials and detailed workmanship. In recent years, Michael's work is most influenced by Mid-Century Modern architecture and interiors that he studies and visits all over the world with it's unique form, function and simplicity that builds the base from which his projects are born. One of the most formative memories was the private invitation by legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman to his home in the Hollywood Hills. Michael received his Master's degree in architecture (DI/MSc) from Vienna's Technical University in 2001 and is a licensed architect.)
