“Creativity is a miracle that exists only when you know how to share it. Our studio is a special place, where this miracle happens every day.” Renzo Piano
We had access, for several months, to one of the most important architectural firms in the world. What happens inside the Renzo Piano Building Workshop is a succession of meetings, phone calls, project reviews, decisions and second thoughts, always facing unexpected events and difficulties together. More than 100 architects and collaborators work together at every latitude to redesign the face of our cities, museums, hospitals, schools, waterfronts, skyscrapers.
Aldo Rossi Design
Muse Factory of Projects, 42 min, Italy, 2022
It’s June 16, 1990, at Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Guests begin to arrive, and welcoming them are Gianni Agnelli and his wife Marella, standing beside Jay and Cindy Pritzker. “Architecture, like all art, is universal — like science, like intelligence,” says Agnelli. Aldo Rossi is, in fact, the first Italian architect to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
This is how the documentary “Aldo Rossi Design” begins: rare materials and archival footage, previously unseen testimonies, images and family photo albums, together with the writings of the great architect, make up the first video narrative ever dedicated to this subject.

Through the expressive and technological evolution of i-Mesh, the film recounts a new model and a new way of looking at the culture of design. In conveying their visions, the creations, relationships and protagonists pose radical questions about the meaning of design and of living today.
Openings – Sguardi oltre il limite
Muse Factory of Projects, 52 min, Italy, 2021
Openings explores the world of architectural elements that “embody” the concept of threshold, openness and the relationship between inside and outside. By approaching the subject from an immaterial, almost “spiritual” perspective, the film investigates the close relationship between art and life, between necessity and creativity, between philosophy and civil thought. The film was shot along the Via Emilia, in a journey full of stops, crossings, wanderings. Among the guides, Davide Cassani, Guido Guidi, Andrea Stella and Rossella Miccio, but also Raoul Casadei, who turned Romagna into a real “state of mind”.
