Francesco Benzi

Varied and Multifaceted Professional Experience

Architect Francesco Benzi's professional experience is characterized by various facets.

Private commissions
Private commissions involve finding a balance between empathy with the client and awareness of economic and administrative constraints. The final technical drawings must precisely express this synthesis, suggesting a specific use of the spaces.

Public spaces
Designing public spaces requires navigating through various aspects of public administration, which can be quite diverse. Functionality and compliance with regulations are the cornerstones to which any initial suggestion must adhere. When approaching the design of a public building, the most important step is defining the scope of work, which delineates the boundary between the project and the context.

Urban design
Designing on an urban scale requires the ability to identify connections with the territory and assign a purpose within the area of interest. Public space is usually a continuation of external connections, representing a sense of continuity. In contrast, private space is characterized by its precise delineation.

Landscape design
In landscape design, there are no defined boundaries. The external landscape becomes an integral part of the project as a relational element. The difference between architectural and landscape design is clear: while architecture aims to define and delineate a space, landscape design requires going beyond environmental elements, such as trees and pathways, to return to an overall vision.

In summary, these are areas that share a common value but move in different directions.
