A.Mag 34 turns its focus to three Italian studios — AMAA, Associates Architecture, and Studio Wok — whose emergent practices collectively map the breadth of a new generation's approach to architecture, design, and landscape. 208 pages, 240 × 320 mm.
About This Book
This issue of A.Mag profiles three practices operating at the edges of contemporary Italian architecture. AMAA, founded by Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra Rampazzo, channels sensibilities shaped by work alongside Massimo Carmassi and Sou Fujimoto. Associates Architecture approaches each project through what its partners call an "archaeological" process — reading site and context as primary material. Studio Wok, active since 2012, pursues an artisanal design methodology across architecture, interiors, and landscape, with quality of living as its central concern. Together, the three studios resist easy categorisation, making this issue a valuable document of emergent practice in Italy.
