Form_A

FORM_A is an architecture studio founded in Milan in 2011 by Andrea Fradegrada and Sandra Maglio.
The Form, in relation to the theme of urban stratification, the architectural identity of existing constructions, the reuse of abandoned landscapes, the relationship between architecture and the built city, with specific attention to public buildings and urban places in need of change, represents the place of reflection on design.
From the territory to the city, from the inhabited space to the elements of detail, from the open space to the internal space, they belong to a way of looking at the architectural space as an element for valuing and modifying our cities, our landscapes and the territories we inhabit.
The dialectic between the theoretical component and the operating mode determines the design activity of the studio, in terms of both public and private assignments, and also the academic work, with productive involvement university activity through teaching, scientific research, participation in conferences, seminars, workshops, and the curation of publications and exhibitions.
The objective of FORM_A is to combine an experimental character with the practical professional dimension, researching and providing concrete answers to the various scales of the project through the precise and accurate control of the architectural project process in constant relation with the various components and diverse consultants in the field.
As E.N. Rogers argued, studio work "is an exchange, a continuous becoming, together: and it is mutual growth, a multiplication of experiences that, alone, we could not have accomplished".
The most important projects under construction include the ADRIANO 1 residential project, the MARIE CURIE, BOCCACCIO 164 projects, and the CASA SM single-family villa.
