Born in Domodossola, Italy, Andrea studied in Milan, at the Faculty of Civil Architecture at the Polytechnic University, and in Athens, at the National Technical University. After graduating, he worked for important architectural practices in Greece (Eleni Kostika Architecture, Athens) and in Italy (Studio Ravogli, Milan) until he joined David Chipperfield Architects in 2009, where he worked as a project architect until 2013. Between 2009 and 2013 he was also a professor’s assistant at Interior Design Atelier of Prof. Michele Ugolini at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Andrea moved to South America in 2013 and worked on several projects in Santiago de Chile. Whilst in Chile, he also worked in association with the architectural practice Matias Zegers Arquitectos. In August 2014 he founded ANDEarchitettura in Santiago de Chile. Today the practice is based in Italy where Andrea continues to expand his research in architecture and to refine his knowledge of materials and forms, focussing on the revaluation of traditional and vernacular architecture.
