Social Space: The City is in the Details

As architects committed to the general practice, Giannone Petricone relish in the richness one type of project affords another. From detailed interiors to large-scale urban design their constant search and preoccupation with cultural nuance, programmatic inflections and ideas about the city leads to spaces that can reorganize social exchanges – no matter what scale. Through the presentation of select recent projects, Giannone Petricone will unravel strategies of surface, materiality, ecology, and urban social engagement that speculate on their capacity to transform the way we live and congregate. Each project joyously indulges in the intimate details which provoke and acknowledge the city.
