Hi, my name is Marco Zanini.

 I'm an italian architect and civic professional.

This is my Website about

Architecture, Research and Activism. 

Thanks to be here.

...YESTERDAY​...

Since I was a child I played around bricks, wood, re-used materials and construction fields because both my grandfather and my father are builders: my destiny was (sort of) written. After the bachelor degree in sustainable architecture I won a competition with mythesis(about anunderground district in the suburbia) and I decided to attend the master's degree in architecture held in English. I was bored by adjectives after the word "architecture" and I was intrigued by learning with people from all over the world with different languages and cultural backgrounds.

It was a good choice.

To complete my education I spent my fifth year in Vienna as Erasmus student. In Politecnico professors used to ask me "Why?" in YOU they asked me "How?". I chose Vienna because I was interested by their differents approaches to architecture: from Otto Wagner, to Coop Himmelblau, from Sitte to Hundertwasser. In Vienna I had the opportunity to live (and play) inSpittelau Viaducts Housing Projectby Zaha Hadid Architects and play with space the inclined wall created.

When I came back to Milan I decided myfinal thesishad to work on the diffused city, the place where I was born and lived till twenties. I've investigated the ordinary stories of the most common material we have in the italian suburban areas: the single family house. I'm part of the "Erasmus" generation: moving the point of view from my own country gave me the opportunity to recognize its contradictions while continuing to love it. For this reason, I decided to stay, with the strong will to be an active part and not just a spectator.

...NOW​...

Nowadays, after 10 meaningful years in several architectural offices as BIM Senior Project Architect, I decided to begin my own professional path with my #startup applying a circular approach into the architecture practice.
In 2019 I have co-founded RE-sign SB Srl a b-corp innovative startup with the aim of ease the process towards circular economy in the construction sector.
Since 2014 I am Tutor at Politecnico Milano in Urban Design Workshops developing the theme "urbanism after growth", and recently Technology courses where I have the opportunity to deepen my research about material reuse.

...VISION...

I believe in every day activism: bicycle is my preferred mean of transportation, I am co-founder ofCycl(H)uba bicycle kitchen/bicycle community and founder of "VA'rese-micropromotion of the ordinary" a social/urban mapping project in Varese. I'm father of Mea and I'm trying to answer with my work the question: "Am I building a better place for her?". Since 2016 I'm working on a social project with Legambiente calledCasemate a place to learn by doing what circular economy means(video).

...DIGITAL ATTITUDE...

Since the first year of university I'm thinking architecture towards a BIM attitude. I felt in love with Archicad and I introduced it in every office I worked for. In 2021/2022 I've reinforced, broadened my BIM skills in aSecond Level Master at Pisa University. I have fun with drones, photogrammetry and point clouds.

...SOFT SKILL GURU...

I have the ability to produce good results in a wide variety of areas, being organized and motivated, self confident and open minded. I can very easily establish positive relationship with my colleagues.

I'm hard working, passionate, super curious and eager to learn. 

...IN 1 SENTENCE...

A. Lanzani to describe me used to say:

"You incorporate, at the same time, archaic and postmodern component".

INTERESTS

Architecture

I seriously consider architecture the way we grasp the world

Photography   Do you wanna see? 

I love photography: quoting Luigi Ghirri: is a useful tool to questioning what surrounds us

food

Food is culture 

Graphic  Are you curious?

I'm interested in graphic design as a mean to communicate contents

Visualization and communication design   Also?!?

I'm interested in communication: a good project bad communicated is -unfortunately- a bad project

Teaching  

Adress students towards their own way to conceive good architecture is stimulating and gratifying

Travel   Click if you want to read my reportages 

Without experiencing the world around us we cannot, as architects, give a form to what we have in mind

Movies 

The place, Le Mépris, Enter the void, Underground, High Fidelity...

books

I.Illich, R.Sennet, Byung-Chul Han, M.Augé, G.Clement, M.Heidegger...

Music

I'm an amateur guitar, accordeon, drums, harmonica player

Bicycle   I'm serious, yes 

I believe bicycle is the most efficient human-powered means of transportation. I'm co-founder of a kitchen bike in Varese.

 

 

REFERENCES 

"In summary, a figure of a "restless" researcher and professional emerges, moved by a remarkable passion, very up-to-date on the debate on architecture and the city in Europe, and who can certainly make a very significant and original contribution in the field of teaching."

Chiara Merlini

As the reader may have the opportunity to verify, Marco is not a common person. His civil commitment for the common good is vast, his competence levels and creative control are of the highest rate, and he is gifted with the valuable capacity of promoting the future with actions and of making things happen. I myself would be very happy of the possibility to count on his support for my future endeavours. Indeed, he is recurrently one of the persons who come up first to my mind whenever some particularly enticing and important professional problem pop up in my activities.

Gianluca Brunetti

I greatly appreciated his contribution, both in terms of specific skills and in terms of the ability to relate to students and colleagues. In fact, he always proved to be ready for confrontation and constructive dialogue.

Stefano Guidarini

In my view, his capabilities are uncommon and highly sophisticated. He has demonstrated a particular aptitude for developing and testing innovative hypotheses in the context of multidimensional design, thanks to his intellectual vivacity and his curiosity, tackling themes in a creative way and placing them at the crossroads between the study of new living spaces, the in-depth knowledge of the context and environmental sustainability.

Francesco Infussi

As I often say to him too, Marco Zanini brings together archaic and futuristic components. You will see him speeding by bike, dealing with self-construction, reuse, and at the same time creating maps, Innovative Startups and BIM projects with his digital skills.

Arturo Lanzani

He has the ability to produce excellent results in a wide variety of areas, being organized and motivated, self confident and open minded.

Roberto Mascazzini

On every occasion in which we have collaborated, his intelligence, analytical skills and humanity have given excellent results.

Matteo Umberto Poli

Over the years, Marco Zanini's tenacity and rigor have allowed him to gain in-depth experience and knowledge in the field of urban design, architectural design and process design.

Paola Savoldi

I met Marco for his many cultural activities in the Varese area and I was immediately struck by his passion and seriousness but above all by the broad and profound vision with which he tackles any topic.

Luigi Vine Semeraro

He is a culturally rich individual, positively curious and interprets the role of architect in the noblest way: favoring the humanistic profile but without neglecting the tools and operational protocols necessary for the efficient development of projects. He has an excellent knowledge of work tools which he combines with great learning skills.

Luca Compri
