P L U S
The objective of Park Associati’s work is to give architectural shape to a vision, by interpreting and synthesising the forces at stake and the variables specific to each project.
Experimentation with languages and technologies, as well as collaboration with other disciplines, have led Park Associati to tackle the most diverse projects with a broad spectrum of interventions, ranging from urban planning to design.
