Profile
Associates Architecture is an architecture and research office founded in Brescia in 2017 and directed by the Italian-South African duo Nicolò Galeazzi (Brescia, 1987) and Martina Salvaneschi (Johannesburg, 1989).
The office works in the field of architecture across multiple scales and has completed projects in Brazil, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Portugal.
Associates Architecture has been invited to participate in the 16th and 17th Venice Architecture Biennales, within the Italian pavilions Arcipelago Italia and Comunità Resilienti; the 12th São Paulo Architecture Biennial Todo dia/Everyday; the 5th Lisbon Architecture Triennale in the exhibition Economy of Means; and the exhibitions 10 architetture italiane and Premio Italiano di Architettura 2023 at the Triennale di Milano.
The office has also been invited to give lectures and hold visiting professorships at leading Italian and European universities, and has received significant national and international awards and recognitions.
Associates Architecture is conceived as a laboratory where practice meets architecture and craftsmanship.
The office is guided by a method that seeks the original idea of things, beginning with a deep study and understanding of the physical and cultural context in which it is called to operate.
Each project takes shape through a tailored and patient process, driven by the search for an architecture capable of expressing the identity of the places it engages with.
