LSA HMONP
Giovanna graduated from the University of Architecture of Genoa, Italy, in 2012. During her third year, in 2009-2010, she took part in the Erasmus programme with the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Granada, Spain. All her travels have allowed her to be proficient in several languages: Italian, Castilian Spanish, English, French.
She joined the Fresh team in March 2013, where she trained on a wide range of projects and scales: offices, hotels, retail, housing, urban projects. rehabilitations. Today, she supervises the concept development on competitions and the interior design projects.
The open dialogue that characterises the development of each project is converted into the Fresh team’s internal organisation. Everyone’s skills extend from architecture to design, through town planning, computer graphics, construction sites, economy. This horizontal functioning allows to develop points of view, inclinations, interests and areas of expertise. In order to implement the construction of a multidisciplinary and shared city, the agency has adopted the BIM from the start, a design sharing tool through a digital mock-up enhanced by information that can be viewed and amended by everyone, at any time. This tool enables the design team, which includes engineers, contracting authority and users, to get involved in each step of the development of the project and to take part in a collective creation.
Both upstream and downstream of the project, the human aspect is at the heart of the Fresh approach. The agency produces for the city, buildings, which, through osmosis, are able to change the dynamic as well as the colour of their neighbourhoods. The constructed exchanges and the consensus reached represent the cornerstone of the project. Fresh implements a partnership approach and a dialogue with stakeholders gathered around each project.
In a dynamic of a continuous workshop, the agency uses negotiation as an inclusion strategy to take their clients where perhaps they have never been before. It is therefore around a shared vision of the city that promoters, landlords, landscape artists and engineers gather to develop a joint project, which has been designed together and is focused on its users. This ability to fuse complex opinions is Fresh’s trademark. Its culture of reciprocity pushes the agency to envisage usages that are translated into architecture and not the other way round.
