We work on architectural, urban, and landscape design, investigating the nature and dynamics of the contemporary city.
Our diverse portfolio includes a wide array of projects, ranging from public and private buildings to housing complexes, urban spaces, temporary pavilions, installations, and interior designs

Our projects have received prestigious recognitions, including the Piranesi Award, the Zumtobel Group Award, the Prix Specialé Hiver, being also finalist at the Medaglia D’Oro dell’Architettura Italiana and the Aga Khan Award, as well receiving the third prize at the Asia Architecture Award.

The firm’s work has been featured in international publications such as A10, Abitare, a+t, A+U, Architecture d’aujourd’hui, Architectural Review, Domus, and Volume, and has been showcased in international exhibitions, including the NAI in Rotterdam, the Venice Architecture Biennale (14th, 13th, and 11th editions), the Brasilia Biennal of Architecture, and the Italian Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 2010, and in solo exhibitions such as “Savage Architecture” at the Architectural Association in London and “The Pop Out Show” in Rome.

We contribute to the architectural discourse participating in conferences and symposia worldwide and by promoting editorial initiatives such as the architecture magazine San Rocco and CAMPO, a platform for the debate, study, and celebration of architecture.

In addition to their design work, the architects of 2A+P/A contribute to education by serving as visiting critics and conducting workshops in various schools across Europe. Collaborating with Davide Sacconi, they teach in Design Studio ADS10 at the Royal College of Art and Diploma 20 at the Architectural Association in London.
