AMAA Collaborative Architecture Office For Research And Development

AMAA was founded in 2012 by Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra Rampazzo based on their working experience alongside Massimo Carmassi and Sou Fujimoto.

The professional practice is combined with academic researches and with their role as TA at the University: they both graduated at Iuav in 2010 and they completed their PhD in Architectural Design (Galiotto, 2015) and History of Architecture (Rampazzo, 2017).

Both for private commissions and for national and international competitions, they are very much used to working with a variety of scales from small details to global designs thanks to a multidisciplinary team and consultants. Architecture is indeed a collaborative attitude rather than the expression of a personal one.

Since 2010, they have been awarded many national and International prizes, including the Runner Up prize in Europan 11 (Linz, AT) and the third prize at House in Milano Sesto Competition. In 2015 they have been selected as finalists at the Federico Maggia Award 2015 and as Architects of the Year Under 36 - New Italian Blood.

In 2019, as a temporary grouping (RTP), AMAA won the first prize for the design and construction of a 9-residences housing building for IPES in Bressanone (BZ) and for the extension of the RSA 'Rosa dei Venti' in Borgo Chiese (TN), both currently at the final draft stage.

The restoration of the Santa Croce Convent in Venice received the honourable mention at the Cappochin Award 2015 (regional section), while the renovation of The [B] Zone was selected among the 10 best regional works in the Cappochin Award 2017 and selected as finalist in The Plan Award 2018.

In 2015 AMAA opened a branch office in Arzignano (VI), in addition to the main office in Venice.
