Emotion in Architecture
D
oriana Mandrelli, a wife, a mentor and an architect of undoubted greatness and a true icon in the industry. Her works plays on a very fine line which distinguishes what is traditional and logical from what may be regarded as nonconformist and unconventional. Doriana's work avoids straight-jackets, thus often lacking a common style. Indeed, every project has its own identity based on its surroundings, moods and other key factors. It is by no coincidence that Doriana has received several prestigious awards including; “Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Française”, and “Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Française” among others. Doriana shared with Atelier, her thoughts the industry, the role emotion plays in architecture and her plans for the future.
