Natalini Architetti

Natalini architects is an international studio for architecture planning and design led by Adolfo Natalini and Fabrizio Natalini. The studio is based in Florence and consists of a core group of the two partners, six senior architects and an administrative staff. There is also a branch studio in Amsterdam (Holland), Leipzig (Germany), and collaborating studios in Ferrara, Siena, Poggibonsi and Viareggio, Italy. The studio has a long standing collaboration with structural engineers Alessandro Chimenti, (S.IN.TER. Ltd.), Florence, and other structural engineering and project development and management companies both in Italy and Holland. (Fiatengineering, Turin, Vastgoed Engineers and M.A.B. Ltd., The Hague, Holland). We also have a team of consultants including services engineers, landscape architects and specialist consultants for aspects including acoustics, security, traffic management and access for the disabled. The integrated structure of the studio allows it to respond efficiently and professionally to a variety of project types, both nationally and internationally, from feasibility studies and urban masterplans through to detail design and project management, encompassing all the relevant European standards. After a twenty five year period of design and research, developed between art and technology with a classical methodology, (publicized frequently), Adolfo Natalini began a new phase of work with Natalini Architects. Beginning with the design experience, collaboration and consultation carried out together with engineers and project managers, Natalini Architects has developed a marked attitude to aspects of architectural coordination and specific technical competences pertaining to diverse sectors of the construction process, allowing their insertion into the process at the very earliest stages. These diverse technical necessities are therefore seen as having active values at the very beginning of the architectural design process and can be subsequently developed along parallel lines. The same integrated approach to the process of architectural design has been consolidated with the completion of important international projects, the experience gained allowing an evaluation of this system of integration to be made periodically.
