Let me introduce myself,
I am an Architect with a deep passion for Lighting Design and 3D Visualization.
Having obtained my Masters Degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Turin in 2012, I decided to delve deeper into the world of contemporary architecture and explore shapes and forms that cannot be captured using traditional two-dimensional methods. To this end, I pursued a specialist course to acquire specific competencies in the field of 3D modeling, visualization, and BIM software.
Currently, I work as a Senior Lighting Visualizer within the lighting team at Foster + Partners. My role involves the crucial task of translating complex lighting schemes created by the lighting designers into an immersive 3D environment, ultimately transforming them into visual representations and physically accurate simulations.
