FEDERICO DI FONZO federico.df@live.it | +39 3382562916 Italian | 29th January 1996 | Rome, Italy My work investigates the close relationship between structure and architecture. In particular, it is meant to highlight how a structure can influence the quality of a space. My interest concerns complex and innovative structures with an eye on parametric strategies. The approach used in this work covers all the basic steps in the design process from concepts to production. I explore all the possibilities through extensive research on new materials because I’ve always believed that “God is in the details”.
