The Piuarch studio of architecture and urban planning was founded in Milan in 1996, and is directed by Francesco Fresa, Germán Fuenmayor, Gino Garbellini and Monica Tricario. 



The associates Yusuke Aizawa, Cristina Castelli, Luca Lazzerotti, Andres Mahdjoubian, Mauro Mandelli and Miguel Pallares join the four founding partners in the work of the studio. Belonging to the new generation of European architects, the group works with the contributions of 35 professionals from Italy, the United States, Brazil, Venezuela, Japan, Spain, Turkey and Israel. 



Every day they bring different ideas and cultures to the work as a whole, reinforcing the studio’s international outlook and approach. Indicated by the magazine “The Architectural Review” as one of the best emerging studios of the moment, Piuarch has worked for years with the fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana, on many projects, including the new D&G headquarters in Milan, the transformation of the former Metropol cinema to create a multifunctional space for fashion shows and events and, together with Studio Laviani, the design of many shops in Italy and abroad.
