Frigerio Design Group

The primary goal of FRIGERIO DESIGN GROUP’s interdisciplinary approach, the architectural firm founded and directed since 1991 by Enrico Frigerio, is to transform their research work in architecture to live in total quality, energy efficient, cost-effective and socially sustainable. Each project is unique and defined by history, social profile and cost-effectiveness, in addition to the environmental and bio-climatic factors that become a part of it, generating the “slow architecture”, a progressive architecture that lasts in time and is defined by the resources taken from the context of the site. There is no innovation that should not adhere to the site, to the unique richness of building here and nowhere else. FDG works are characterized by the identification of intervention strategies in which, from time to time, specific needs enter into dialogue with the technologies to produce appropriate solutions, with a strong capacity for synthesis, released from purely formal requirements. Examples of this approach are the Autodromo of Imola’s ecological stands, Sambonet HQ in Orfengo, EGL Group power stations, Spezia Calcio Ferdeghini Sports Centre, or the recent competitions won in 2015, currently under development, TIM offices’ concept of SmartWorking and the transformation of ENEL power plant in Alessandria.
